Inlet for fuel line, TQ carb. - 04/17/10 07:02 AM

Just realized my rebuilt TQ doesn't have an inlet device in in there, just the threaded hole for it. Can I pick one of these up at the parts house? my online searches of O'reilly seem to be of no real help for me

Several TQ carbs I've seen have a bushing between the carb body and the flared fuel line and threaded fitting. MAYBE they all had it. The threaded bushing can be found at most any home improvement store. The fuel line is a paltry 5/16". You can bend your own fuel line to fit your app.

If I'm not mistaken the fitting for an Edlebrock carb is also the same.

yes it's that fitting first, then the fuel line. ones I'm had before seemed that way, for some reason I never thought to look at this one. Thanks

Yes, the Edelbrock IS the same. IIRC it seals with a washer and is NOT tapered pipe thread.
