I was searching for a replacement bowl and chicago carb has one but it says Call for price $$$$. Blp racing has a fuel bowl for a 4150 double pumper carb for under $20. My question is will the 4150 work ? Or will fuel leak out of the accelerator pump hole ?

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.

It's already fubared beyond repair. I would think that you could epoxy it to where it does not show on the outside live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

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.

Maybe it's just me being a little too careful-but I would never use JB Weld (or any adhesive) on a fuel system, While outside on the turnpike They got this new hit tune Where thrills become as cheap as gas And gas as cheap as thrills

If you use a/m kits, the needle and seat are 1 thread off on the thread pitch and you eventually end up with a stripped hole. If you are using one that has a brass jamb nut instead of the screw and skinny nut, you are toast. Only use Holley brand parts for you carbs. An exception may be to get them from QFT, Demon.

Guess how many I ordered, only thing is they are on backorder for about a month. I the meantime I am going to use the spare doublepumper bowl I have and epoxy the pump passages shut, just so I can run the car long enough to move it to storage.
