Stripped fuel inlet

(1/2) > >>

So, got the car running with the kit from Cliff's, runs fantastic, but I think the fuel inlet threads finally gave up. Started leaking fuel immediately.

Cliff, I know you repair them, do you sell a helicoil kit so I can handle it?

Let me know what you need from me.

Word is not to try this at home. If not perfectly true it will leak. It's worth the money to have Cliff do it. Good luck.

On the 69 quadrajet, you may be able to get a fuel inlet with longer threads.  Cliff sells those too.  But heli coil is a good permanent fix.

That would be a nice option.

Here is the current inlet length.
