I do not have one removed to check but I can give you two ideas. One is to take the bolt with you to the store. All the places that sell bolts that I have been to have a plastic gauge with nuts in it. You can test the size of the bolt in the metric or standard gauge. Also my micrometer has a thread gauge on the back, you can measure the bolt then check.

I was going to order some from www.mcmastercarr.com (kind of my own custom set) and left my measurement at home (getting old). I then went to www.summitracing.com and ordered as set of ARP.

Street & Performance - www.hotrodlane.cc - carries some alternatives. You'll need to poke around their catalog or maybe call them.

If these are the same as the 88's w/ center valve cover bolts then I've got your bolts. Stainless Allen Key Head machine bolts. I just bought a **** load, enough to do 5 TPI engines. Contact me if interested. These are the bolts show cars use.
