Arvidsson 22 Report post Posted April 19, 2013 Well.. I got a leaking Holley. Its quite a reasonable amount of leakage. Is the area from where it leaks fixable or is just crap!? (see picture) thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MustangChuck 16 Report post Posted April 19, 2013 Another option is to replace the fuel bowls with center-hung float bowls. That will eliminate the tube that runs on the outside of the bowls. You will need to replace the fuel line. That helped me a little, as my first one always leaked along the tube. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
