This board member sells any part you need for a six pack setup and also sells several custom parts for six pack carbs. I was very pleased with a rebuild job they did for a set of six pack carbs I have.

Once you get the carbs done.....and tuned.... are you going to pre-lube that motor or do anything else to it before you fire it up?

OK, I have rebuilt my six pack set up and reinstalled everything to start turing the carbs in.

Now, no leaks, except for the front fuel line fitting. Have installed it and reinstalled it four times and for some reason, its leaking out of the fitting. It seens there is little or no play or room for error with these fittings. I dont know if something got tweeked or what but its now leaking and I need to get moving on so I am again stuck looking for parts. I dont need a whole kit, which is 60-75 bucks, just the piece pictured below.

does anyone sell it seperately? Or does someone sell a kit that may work better. Its 5/16 fuel line, are all kits the same or do they make something thats better than the stock kit?

any suggestions. This seems to be my last leaking issue as the rest seems tight.

OK, so when I get the leak fixed whats the best way to adjust and tune the carbs now that they are all rebuilt and out of wack with one another?

Thanks for any advise!

I guess you should start by turning the mixture screws all the way in then back out 1 turn. Un-hook the outboards and start the car, let it warm up then turn the idle up to about 2400rpm UNHOOK your vac advance and set you timing. I'd start at 36* total. Then back the rpms down to about 900 and turn the mixture screws out until you get the best vaccum reading. Then hook up the outboards. If it starts to race adjust them so the doors are shut. Go for a spin. Depending on your cam and set-up you might need to adjust the outboard springs and/or PV.
