Model A stripped threads
 

I have a 1930 Model A Fordor with "original" engine setup. One of the bolts that fastens the coolant tube to the engine block is stripped. It holds all the way in and when I'm turning what I feel should be the last 1/4 turn the bolt pops loose.


Any suggestions? I'm thinking helicoil but I've never done one so don't know anything about size needed etc..
