Got my new Holley Carburetor today

Post by 72bumbee »

Got the new carburetor today just one question is stuck in my craw right now.
Will my pre bent metal fuel line connect to this with minimal hassle? Or should I plan on this not being bolt and go?
Looks like everything else is compatible... so far...
Not sure, but it looks like the kick down linkage was boxed with it too... I took my rod out years ago...

You'll have to make some measurements to see if the pre-bent line will fit. I have an Edelbrock 1405, and there are kits that bring out a line that's 3/8", but my fuel pump is 5/16". For now, I'm using a rubber line from pump to carb. So far, no leaks. One of these days, I want a real, metal line.

On the kick-down lever, I never had one, and never missed it. Again, one of these days ... maybe.

Thanks again, I’ll most likely just go with rubber if mine won’t reach
