[Carb float bowls]

Apologies for the double post - new to the forums.

Peter, yes SU's on a 66 4A - thanks for the hint on gaskets. Planning on using Teflon lined braided fuel line, and routing under the battery box, to get a cleaner look to the lines. Point taken on the overflow Dick, thank u.

 

This car has been through the wars a bit. Originally owned by Al Haynes the 60's wrestler - know in the UK as Judo Al Hayes and here in the States as Lord Alfred Haynes - it started life on the East coast and suffered heavy tin worm. Moved to Texas I. The 80's and sat for many years.

 

Rear ended 2 years ago, prompting complete restoration - frame, bodywork, new paint, floor pans and transmission swap - now fighting fit and ready again for action.

 

Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for all the feedback - looks like I can do it, but advice from the tech forum seems to be to have new gaskets on hand.

Will post picture when done. it is show season here in Texas, so this was a project that should have bed done over the winter.

I want to route the fuel line from the pump up and around the rear of the block, so I don't have the supply line running under the thermostat housing on the front of the engine - purely aesthetic. Planning on using braided fuel line to do away with all the rubber connectors. Was not sure if it would affect the carbs, if the rear was the one taking the primary fuel feed from the pump.

Can I switch the top covers on the float chambers with each other - I am trying to re-route my fuel line coming from the pump, and would like to put the front float cover on the rear and vice versa - this will allow me to put the fuel feed from the pump on the rear carb. Anybody do this before?

Traveling from the USA to attend - unfortunately my 67 TR4A is not making the trip - hope to meet some fellow owners. We are there all three days.

Just converted my 67 to a 5 speed - happy to share the experience with all.
