Help !!! Stripped a thread in the Holley body for bowl screw, these threads are gay as, I was only using an 3/8 drive extension bar with 5/16 socket to tighten, no handle . Is there a kit for these ? Thumper ?

They make heli coil kits for them. If those are Holley bolts with the billet blocks you'll have to be careful.

Sorry but a 3/8 drive ratchet isn’t the tool for that job. 1/4 inch drive user here with probably three fingers doing the work.

I think all he was using was the extension, no ratchet. Still pretty easy to strip them with that if you had a good grip and to much Wheaties for breakfast.

Heli-coil 5521-1 kit. 12-24


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
