Thanks all. I think I know how to proceed from here. And yes, the problem was overtightening the valve seat. It doesn't take much to strip the threads - a note of caution to anyone trying to make adjustments.

SAAC Forum Discussion Area / How to repair stripped gas needle valve
June 03, 2021, 01:24:38 PM
One of the needle valves on my 68 GT500 is stripped and won't hold in place. Anyone know where to find an insert or have repair recommendations? I was thinking Holley had a repair kit at one time but can't seem to find one. The carburetor is original and I really don't want to have to replace the bowl. Any suggestions appreciated.
