Most likely a 1/4-20. Any 1/4" bolt will work, as long as a nut of the same thread pitch is used. An Allen bolt makes it a lot easier to adjust the timing.

I put a 1/4x20 coupling nut on mine. Easier to reach.

“makes it a lot easier to adjust the timing.”

1/4-20 x 1 1/4 SHCS worked perfectly with a square nut to keep it from turning while tightening.

Find one with an Allen head. They work easier than a slotted "stovebolt."
