Hi All, I'm supposed to be taking my car out to the strip tomorrow, but after making a jet change late this afternoon, I stripped out one of the fuel bowl bolt threads. While it's highly unlikely that anyone open tomorrow morning will sell helicoils, I thought I'd give it a shot anyway. Problem is, I can't seem to find out what the thread size is. Any one know?

I've never figured out why people like Holley just HAD to use odd threads. Worse than firearms. Here's at least one listing: http://www.jegs.com/p/Holley/751717/10002/-1/11149 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00062YSXC?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=nextag-auto-20&linkCode=asn

I asked the guy at my neighborhood Ace and they had the kit as well. Good Luck And BTW I paid $22 for the kit, I just looked at the links listed Last edited by johnnyrotten; 07/26/08 02:45 PM.
