stripped fuel filter mounting

[Joe67]

Well, I stripped the opening for the fuel filter in my rochester carb

My carb number: 7028213 DY

Of course I stripped the carb end of the threads, not the nut...

I posted a WANTED ad in the new classified section.

Does anyone know what carb pieces are compatible with a 1968 Rochester quadrajet that was used on a 327 truck motor application?

if you are running a inline fuel filter you can use epoxy to fix the carb , just put a little around the nut threads and cram it back in the carb just remember that you can not ever take it back off once you do that so dont put a filter in there
and when ya are putting the fuelline in to it use a 1inch wrench to hold it in place so that it dont bust the carb anyworse, i have did a few like that

You can buy oversize self tapping nuts that will cut new threads at most parts stores.

In the help section at carquest they have an oversize fuel fitting that will cut new threads, just becareful to make sure no fillings/metal get into the carb
