My water pump is eating fan/pulley bolts like their going out of style, do you guys know if these newer water pumps come with METRIC threads or something?

I have seen them with 1/4"-28 and 1/4"-20 threads. GM went partially metric in the 80s, so who knows for sure. Closest thing to 1/4" is 6mm x 1.0.
My real GM water pump #88894341 (also AC Delco 251-544) has 1/4"-20 threads.
