Default Fuel rail threads
I have an extra fuel rail for my 85. The threads are a little messed up. Is there a tap I can use to straighten them out?

Thanks
Gary

You should be able to clean them up. You will have to match the thread size and pitch, sorry don't know the exact size.

Buy a cheap tap and die set. Run the bolt thru the die and the matching tap will clean up the hole.
