good news got the starter in and it runs, bad news is that i found out one of the bolts for the distributor was stripped by the previous owner...ive read about helicoil but i dont know if i can drill out the hole without taking off the head, does anyone know how far the distributor bolt holes go into the head?like do the holes go into any internal part of the head? if i can do it with the head still on the block in the car that would be nice as i dont want to go through the trouble of taking the head off and getting new gaskets
