1972 455 Carb
Hello,
My quadrajet has an issue. Front of carb has a large bolt that screws into it, in which the fuel line screws into that. This is the piece that holds the fuel filter. Anyhow, mine is stripped. Can somebody recommend a business that can rebuild the carb to new and also heli-coil a new thread? I live in Seattle and most places do not touch carbs, unless I am wrong... fill me in where they are hiding. Ron |

I assume they still make oversized fitting to screw into the carb body if it's not totally shot. NAPA might have them. A lot of them got damaged threads when the fuel line was tightened without keeping a wrench on the large fitting.
