69 Charger 440. Have a slight vibration at idle, and while checking the converter screws, not only was one of them loose, it was a Heli-Coil gone bad. Any suggestions on a repair?

I Have tapped to the next oversize with no problems. Not enough weight difference to cause a balance problem either. The 5/16 converter bolt head is 9/16 as is a 3/8 bolt. Grind some of the head face to clear the block webbing.
Yep much easier. So tapping UP to 3/8"? Any thoughts where I can scavenge this bolt off the car from?

Fine thread and be careful you don't punch a hole in the convertor .
Have you tried to install a new helicoil of the current size ?
