Heater Hose-Dual Feed Carb Issue - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72step · 03-08-2009, 01:56 PM

How do you all with dual feed carbs and a heater hose that taps into the intake handle the plumbing? I installed a dual feed carb last year and ended up bypassing the heater for now, but I want to do it right. It seems if I could find a 5/8" barbed elbow that would go into the intake instead of the straight barbed 5/8" fitting; would be the easy fix to prevent the fuel and heater hose lines to cross paths, but I can't seem to find one. Any ideas? Thanks.

Pics would be very much appreciated!

Not sure if you want chrome or not, but there are Chromed Brass 90's on eBay. I have bought them before.
