Hey guys. I decided to go with the new Holley 4160 465 CFM to correct my rich burning 4150 original carb. I like the idea of the external float bowl adjustment and the Power Valve blowout protection. The car does not have the lumpy idle anymore and there is only a small amount of carbon at first start up and then clears up. The only modifications are to the plumbing. The new 4160 has a banjo style fuel inlet with the pipe to accept a rubber fuel hose. My original fuel line is steel with the threaded brass couplings. Does anyone know if they make Banjo style fuel inlets with threaded couplings on the clear fuel bowl end-can i get a fuel line made? It would go from Banjo inlet to the carb to threaded coupling on my clear glass fuel bowl.

I currently have a 90˚ brass elbow that comes out of the 4150-It will not fit under my air cleaner cover because the carb is slighty wider at the fuel inlet. Also I have to modify the Distributor advance plumbing going into the carb. My original had a threaded brass coupling screwed into the metering block -the new carb has a 1/8" tube coming out of it.



Thanks all
