I have a MIJ 1985 '62 reissue strat. Can't seem to find a whammy bar that fits and functions properly. Anyone know what kind is needed? Thanks

Likely you need a bar with metric-spec threads.

The ST-62's aren't all the same. The 115 (= 115000¥) should be US parts and imperial threaded trem arm, the lower priced models 55 and 70 metric, on the 85 I'm not sure.
BTW, these (or other Japanese) aren't "reissues" in Fender lingo.

Test the thread gently with different bolts - if it's metric, I'll suggest M5.
