Tom, the threads can't be chased, they're that bad? Two options then 1.) the fugly one. I did this on a 1972 Newport Royale I drove in the Army. Ever hear of JB Weld? Yeah, I know it's ugly. The Chrysler had a fitting that the feed line then screwed into. 2.) I've got a Q sitting on my shelf I'll probably never use. I have a whopping $65 into it. It's the correct # for a 68 396 among other apps, including '70 Caddy which is what it came from. The choke linkage is different. You can email today and I'll get it out ASAP.
BTW, it's a fresh Holley rebuild.
