This is the setup I have. Flex and AN's to the carb. Take-off on back goes to the fuel pressure, which is a fluid isolator to keep fuel out of the cockpit.

Those look very nice. I was looking for an off the shelf item. Is there an off the shelf line that will work with Kirkham's turkey pan?

I have an extra one (came with my runner kit) that is for use with a turkey pan. I did not use it as I have dual quads. If your interested let me know. It looks like this one.

I've used a standard off the shelf Holley item. It also has a connection point for the Kirkham fuel pressure sender.

Kirkham makes and sells some extensions that work great with the turkey pan.

Call Dave on Monday and ask about the setup. 801-377-8224

I'm not sure. Does the Kirkham pan have different dimensions than other available pans? I have purchased some other components from Kirkham for my CSX and they work fine. Would it help if I took some measurements?

I had the same problem when fitting my turkey pan. If you're going for the original look, the commonly sold fuel logs only fit 3-2bbls and 2-4bbls, not a single Holley/turkey pan combo. And the repro hard line from the fuel filter to the log will be wrong, too. The correct log is unique, and sits a little further back along the valve cover than the 2bbl and dual quad versions.

I purchased my log from Motorsports International in California, but I'm not sure they're still around. Do a web search for their telephone number and give them a try.

I had to hand fabricate a hard line to fit, but I'm pleased with the results. I used a repro line as a template and added the necessary length/bends to mate with my log. It eliminates the brass 45 degree fitting at the front of the log as the line goes straight into the log. Looks factory, and doesn't leak.

Summitt has quite a few versions. Some are adjustable.
