Screw looks long and the wrong thread. I thought it had a machine style thread and was completely flat not a convex shaped head.

I agree it's the wrong screw, and if it's too long it will push against the vertical rod stopping it's ability to function :2cents:

I did try a different screw, but even with no screw as soon as the t handle is slide down to have the hole line, up something binds and prevents the button on handle from moving in and out freely. so I ordered another new T handle hoping it solves this button issue.

so I found a used T handle from a 1970 barracuda, slide it on, fits differently and functions correctly. hoping the new one on the way, will be the same when it arrives.
