Got an issue with one of my Holleys on the '55. Been having a recurrent leak at the feul inlet, snugging up the fitting always seems to stop it for a while. Today, I noticed a slight feul smell, and sure enough, it was a bit loose. Tried to tighten it, but it wouldn't snug up at all. I took the fitting out, the threads are bunged up pretty good. I was considering Heli-Coiling it. Is this a good idea? I don't think leakage will be an issue, as it seals with a copper washer gasket. Opinions are appreciated.
BTW, this is a Holley 1904 single bbl originally from an International truck.
