That repair looks like a brass insert pressed in to repair the float adjuster. My problem is the fuel inlet threads are stripped out where the fuel line fitting mounts on the side.
Worst thing is I just called chicago carb and they said the outboard bowls are not avalable anywhere anymore. I am stuck with either buying a new or used carb. I called holley and I am currently on hold. 40 min wait time estimate....



Insert is not pressed,hole is cut to size with an end mill and tapped 1/2 x 32 SAE.About the only thing you can do with the fuel inlet is JB weld in place if you don't ever plan removing it.The other alternative is using the front bowl off a dual inlet 4 barrel and plugging the accelerator pump passages,on the car you'll never see the difference.
