You can buy screw drivers for those screws from some of the classic truck vendors.

For the life of me I cannot remember their name. As soon as I reply it will come to me.

Gary and Lonnie-

These are clutch-head screws, a newfangled innovation in their time. Most vendors do sell screwdrivers and heads, but check your local NAPA store. They will also have these items, as clutch heads are still used in some carbs.

Another place to look for these are places that work on RV's. The guy at my NAPA turned me on to that info, I guess they use clutch heads on campers and stuff quite a bit too. My NAPA didn't have any, but the local RV place did. Just another option.

You can find clutch-head bits for racheting screwdrivers if you look around. I have two sets of all but the largest one - they came in big sets with a crappy screwdriver.
