Removing Broken Screws With an Extractor?
Broken screws are incredibly frustrating to remove, especially when it's just the screw head that's broken off. Fortunately, screw extractors make this process as clean and simple as possible. A screw extractor kit should include a number of different bits. Start with one of the two smallest bits to make a pilot hole, then tap an extractor bit into the pilot hole with a hammer until it's firmly in place. Using a pair of pliers, continue pushing down on the extractor bit but begin to turn it counter-clockwise. The broken screw should, with a little effort, begin to slide out.
What is the area called that the screw goes into The part with the ribs like that you screw the screw down into...?
The hole that you put a screw into is referred to as a "tapped hole". The rib-like things in the hole are called "threads" or, more specifically, "internal threads" as opposed to the external threads on a screw.

How do you remove a screw that broke off from the distributor and is now stuck inside of the hole that the screw goes into?
Get an Easy Out (left-handed) reverse drill bit that is smaller than the shaft of the broken screw. Run your drill counter-clockwise at a low rpm, while keeping the bit centered on the broken end of the screw. You might want to drill a smaller pilot hole with a normal drill bit first. At some point after cutting and weakening the inside of the broken-off screw end, the left-handed drill bit will catch on the metal and twist it out. I think there are videos of how this is done online. Getting the bits can be expensive, but they're invaluable for something like this.

What do you do if the short starter bolt snapped in the mountingbolt hole of a 1996 camaro z28 ss?
You can buy broken screw removal tools quite cheap from any good tool supplier or DIY store. You drill a hole into the offending screw/bolt and then use the removal tool in a normal DIY power drill or screwdriver in reverse to wind the broken screw out. Use a release oil to help it on its way in case it is stubborn. I have a set of 4 different sizes in a case which cost about £8 in the UK ($10 US)
