The internet is all over the place..One says 10x1.0mm, one says 10x1.5mm, and yet another says 3/8-24...
I’m looking to put speed bleeders in place of the regular screws, and Oreillys ain’t gonna have em in stock, so I need to know from some of the Brakexperts like @Mustang5L5
Anyone else?

It changed. Ford used a few different sizes. I think up to 1998, it was 3/8-24. 99-04 was M10 x 1.0.

Problem is, for the rears, the parts rebuilders lump them all together, so you can sometimes get a 1995 caliper with an M10 bleeder. It's the same issue with the banjo bolts. Ford had a coarse and fine thread banjo and mixed them all up even within the same type of caliper.

I have a set of calipers, I can measure later to confirm.

So I pull out a set of 94-98 cobra calipers I have.

M10 x 1.0

I pull out every bleeder I have, as one of my sets of calipers somewhere also has speed bleeders. All M10x1.0

Thank you sir...I just have to go pick them up from Oreillys,...I figured since it took a 10mm wrench to open the ones currently on my car, that would probably be a good guess.
