    WTB Holley fuel bowl

     



    Anyone have a good one of these fuel bowls? 4165/75 Holley (spreadbore 650 DP) mine is leaking at the soldered rivet (arrow)
    Or will 4150/60 dual feed bowls work on this carb?

    Kinda look like what it is tho, a cheap fix, not? That would get me running but not a permanant fix. I prefer to look right as well as running.

    I am sure you could buy it and I would think that they would make a new plug for that.
    I would think a good machine shop could fix it with no problem.
    The thing is, which one one will cost less to do.

    take a hammer and punch and repene it---if you can get to the back side of it , support it there and pound(with finesse) the front side. Remember that rivets are smashed with a hammer, POP rivets are something else--

    A New bowl is $55 from Summit pretty steep when 4160's ar $39 unless I was in love w the carb. But to just try the carb and see how I like it? well.... I'll try the machine shop after I try the repeen method. I am out nothing just trying that.

    try drilling the plug tap out use a 1/8 npt pipe plug or to 1/4 plug if you can not re pein it you do not need to sink the plug in to far theres not much there for fuel psi. if you fix it your a head of the game. if you trash it then your still looking

    Not a lot of room for a 1/8 pipe but a 1/16 might work out
