I ended up with a smaller nut, but the correct fitment, so I went with them.....
Well today made another trip to Fastenal to see what they might have in stock. They came through with replacement u joint bolts for my 82, as I am replacing both TA's and stripped two of the bolts....
So after a few minutes they found the exact size for our ECM's, but a different color, oh well!!!
Here are a few pics, that show the original, the replacement and the smaller replacement that I was using.

Part#0162816 they are M5's.....cost $.22 a piece almost had to buy the whole box, but let me purchase just 8.....
And you can also use a 10mm combo wrench to attach just like the originals.
I figured with the correct nuts on there now I should pick up an extra 3HP.
I believe that nut for the ECM is the same as the nut used to attach the rear fascia to the body, so you can switch one from the back that will not be seen with one of the Fastenal nuts.
