I have an old fuel bowl that I had for many years and it has no bowl vent in the top so I JB welded the 2 accelerator pump holes shut. I am going to try that bowl tomorrow. I tried to call holley twice today and they did not return a call yet. I hope they have either a bowl or a fuel inlet fitting with a longer 7/8-20 thread. There are plenty of good threads deeper in the damaged bowl. If I strike out I will try to JB weld the fitting into the bowl.
Thanks for all of the help.
