Leaky Holley 885

[38 coupe]

If you look closely you will notice the threaded portion of the bore is just the bottom. A friend of mine with a 53 Mercury tapped the hole much further into the carburetor, and turned a new brass fitting on a friend's lathe to go into the carburetor. The bottom of the new fitting sticks out long enough that it was drilled into from the side and tapped for pipe threads. A pipe to flare adapter then allowed a traditional fuel line to be made up.
