I got myself a Bronco

[jeff_gates]

I got myself a 1966 Bronco V8.

I pulled the carburetor to rebuild it and when I got to the jets they were a bear to get out, on inspection the threads on the carb are really messed up.

What would you do?

Thanks,
Jeff

See if it tightens back up, if not and its not a very good carb or what not just replace it.
What carb is it?
And congrats on the buy!

Ditto. I had a perfect wide blade screwdriver and could not get the jets out. Tried everything.. Ended up ordering a rebuild and good old National Carburetor is taking 10-12 business days, so if you need one, don't go there..
Pictures? I tried to get a sweet 1966 Stroppe Clone six banger before I ended up with mine.. Dees it still have the single master cylinder?? That is the first thing I would change..

Welcome to the site! Try running a tap through the threads and see if they'll straighten up. If so, you can put in new jets with locktite and all will be well. If it isn't working out for you, check Summit for a new model. What type carb is it? And shoot us some pics of your new ride!
