What tolerance resistors do you have? 1%? 5%? A 5% resistor could measure anywhere from 475K to 525K! Even a 1% resistor could be as high as 505K!  
 
 
 
>How should I connect a 470k and a 39k resistors to obtain >that 510k value?  
 
 
 
When you connect resistors together in series, you add their resistance values. So 470K + 39K = 509K. On the schematic for the Screamer, does it say something like "all resistors 20%?" Anything like that? I think you'd bo OK with 500K.
