Need help on stripped carb threads....
 

is there a company who makes taps and heli-coils to repair the threads on a q-jet main body? i remember someone posted a site that had squirter thread repair kits for holleys also, any help at all is much appreciated!

thanks,

Are you talking about the fuel inlet? For the fuel inlet you need a Helicoil Carburetor Thread Repair Kit, 7/8-20 (5549-14) It requires a 57/64 (.891") drill. The extra inserts (7/8-20 x .330) are P/N K318-14-1. Places like Tool Source carry them.

sorry, i need to fix the holes that hold the top of the carb on the body, small 10/32's maybe? another friend replied about the loc-tite repair kits also.

Wade,

These threads are easy to repair with heli-coil kits. The two holes where the screws go that are located inside the choke horn are 8-32, and all of the others are 10-32. Let me know if you need some help.
