Sorry to hear that, and surprised too. I would try teflon before I gave up on the bowls, though. Be careful not to get any loose tags of tape where they will go into the carb...bad potty.

I'm not aware of a helicoil-type repair for the bowls...go to this link

and tell them your situation...they will sell the parts or tell you how to get them. I got some impossible OEM carb and fuel line parts for a '66 427 'Vette restoration from them quick and cheap.

Hey Guys, should the accelorator pump spring be applying pressure on the lever underneith the bowl or just sitting on it. I installed my new bowls but now cant get the car to start. I'm flooding the hell out of it. I filled up the bowls with gas. Removed all the spark plugs and most were wet. They were also black (running rich, i knew that). Anyway, both levers have pressure on them from the spring. should i adjust it so that it is only touch and when the accelorator calls for it, then it applies pressure.

Let me know
Thanks
