I don't know if there is such a thing as a repair insert (I have seen this done before, but not in a kit form for home use) or other repairs? 7333279-Copyofholleybowl.JPG (426 downloads) Last edited by 70Sbird; 08/13/12 11:29 AM.

Any front fuel bowl from a dual inlet Holley should be the same. I have a shop locally that stocks the replacement bowl from Holley - the second link in one of the above posts for $65. It's new and functionally correct just a little different looking than the original. I'm probably going that route since this insn't an original carb and is going on a warmed over smallblock. I know I have seen these salvged before and was more curious if that would be more practical?

I would consider the JB weld in there but this is also where the filter(s) reside - behind this fitting, so if I used JB weld I would have to ditch the filter

There are oversize fittings that cut new, larger threads in the housing but I can't get a picture of them. You have to be careful with either repair as the housing isn't very robust. R. Heck, I have bought 3310s on the 'bay for as little as $35 delivered. Or you could use this as an excuse to buy a new fuel bowl with a permanent window for setting floats!
