Hi All,
I found this tool online: Rochester Carburetor Wrench The link changed, this should be the same thing here: http://www.mactools.com/en-us/Wrenches/Open-End-and-Angle-Wrenches/DA32/SAE-Angle-Wrench-1 It's advertised as being for Rochester Carburetors, but it had two 1" ends at different angles. I found it very useful for the fuel bowl to line adapter fitting on my Holley. I was having a hard time finding a 6 point, 1" line (flare) wrench. I figured the 4 points would be close enough, and it was. It gives good maneuverability too. |

Before it started leaking badly, it was tough to see where it was coming from. So, it was almost good that it got worse.
I was able to use the carb wrench and a couple other tools, to remove the adapter fitting, replace the gasket, and tighten it down good. It stopped leaking.

is there a gasket between the line flare and the fuel bowl adapter? Or is the gasket between the adapter and the housing?
