Well, being the idiot that I am, I got overly aggressive with one of the float bowl screws on my holley 390 and stripped one of the bolts..... aaarrrggghhh!!!  sure didnt seem to take too much, but....

Wondering if I could helicoil it vs. having to try to find a new main body and rebuild it?  Im assuming that JB weld wouldnt hold up to the gas soaking, etc, and probably wouldnt hold a fine thread like that.....

Any other ideas?
