Nothing special about that wrench, it's a common 15/75 degree open-end wrench, all the tool makers offer them.... probably even Harbor Freight.
The Holley inlet fitting is 1".

I haven't seen any others that thin. I think the idea is you can use two wrenches (1" and 1/2") when tightening/loosening the fule lines. After looking at my carbs, it's unlikely that would work anyway. It's too tight a fit in there. I'm checking to see if this might work: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...AAQ:MOTORS:1123

FWIW back when I ran a sixpack I would replace the inlet fittings for ones that had a second smaller set of wrench flats so taking the fuel lines apart was easier... Some of the older Holley fittings had the 1" hex and a 11/16 hex which worked great...

This wrench is sold by a member of the board, looks like it would work fine .

We make & sell a thin, heat-treated 1" wrench specifically for this application. Less expensive than anyone else's, too. $22.00 + $3.00 shipping. Got tired of trying to wrangle a wrench between my Holley & the firewall on my racecar and garfing up the fittings, bowls & firewall. You can PM me here, or email me directly at topside340@yahoo.com, or look me up on ebay as seller name "topside340", if you want one.

That's. Cool wrench. I changed over to the an lines. Pricey fix lol
It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
