Kevin,
They are "5/16-18 X 7/8. The original GM part number was 1164332 (part
number courtesy of David Kernberger). I recently purchased and successfully
used a set of Mr. Gasket pressure plate bolts on my Buick 215. The Mr.
Gasket part number was #911.
I'm not sure what to suggest as a method of repairing the now damaged hole
in your flywheel. Probably you will need to put in a 'Helicoil'. The
problem is that I am not sure how that will effect the overall balance of
the flywheel.
Regards,
Jim

Subject: Buick Flywheel Pressure Plate Bolt Size?
Does anyone know the the thread pitch of the bolts used to clamp the
pressure plate to a stock Buick flywheel? They appear to be 5/16 x 24
but I'm not totally sure that they are not 5/16 x 18. I chased one with
a 5/16 x 24 tap and more material came out than I thought should though
this flywheel has been sitting around for a while and had a little
surface rust on it. Thanks.
