[Healeys] Stripped Outlet on Fuel Pump

[Bob Spidell]

Good to know.  Thanks.

Got me to wondering if anybody has a list of which fasteners are which type on 
our Healeys (think Norman's Tech Book has a list of equivalencies, but don't 
remember if there's a list of which fastener goes where).  My father and I have 
been, uh, surprised by some UNF threads in places we didn't expect (near-match 
SAE nuts will go on easily for about half the diameter of the thread then jam).
