Sniped me a fuel block yesterday

[Don Coatney]

I have been looking for a while and finally scored this for twelve bucks and change delivered.

If I needed something like that, I'd just order a new one, or go to a local speed shop and pick one up. Then you wouldn't have to look or wait for one. Why wait for ebay and buy used.

I do not have one drop of chrome under my hood in keeping with my theme (thounds like I am lisping when I thay that) of things. Gotta love it when I finally (for the first time in my life) have a theme. I wanted a used fuel block that looks used. If I wanted a new one I would have to drop a new SBC in to connect it to

Don,

Nothing wrong with that. It's just something I do now. Won't look for something used if I know I can pick up a phone and order it. First, who knows when I'd find it used and second if I'd win the bid if on ebay. At least by ordering a new one I can then forget about that part and move on to something else. They do come new in polished or brushed aluminum. Yes that would stand out too if you want it to look old. However, just dip it in a little Phosphoric acid for a couple of seconds or minutes and it will oxide and look old. Or a good strong salt solution will have about the same affect on aluminum, will just take a little longer. If you want a few nicks in it, hit it with a screwdriver a few times before dipping it. Now it looks old.

Moomeyes.com sells a reproduction fuel block for $60. Google: Nostalgia Fuel Block to see a oic of it; pretty cool

A fuel block is a device to connect one fuel line into several fuel lines. Used on multiple carburetor applications.

Be very careful about what hoses you use with this. I found out that the nice red fuel lines I tried were actually FDA-approved for food stuff instead of being for gasoline. That explains why they were ballooning and leaking like sieves at the clamping points. I chased leaks for two weeks, then threw them away and made up some AN lines using something meant for fuel; no leaks since!

Thanks Don,

I run just one carburator. I would think some kind of T shaped extention would do.
