Hooking up dual carbs
My neighbor has a 63 Olds Cutlass F85 8 cylinder, and wants to put on a Offenhauser dual 2bbl carb intake and carbs. He has the carbs but Im not sure how the fuel line for the carbs get hooked up. Is there a company out there that make fuel line hook ups for this set up? Any help would be appreciated as its getting close to spring and Id like to help him out. Hes had a few bad weeks with his wife passing and then two weeks later his very good friend passing also. Thanks

That is a fairly unusual setup. I don't know for certain, but doubt a market exists for any company to fabricate fuel lines, especially as different sets would be required depending on which carburetors used.
Pretty easy to acquire steel brake line (5/16" should be large enough) at a local auto parts store and bend the lines. Blue Point makes a really good hand held bender that is reasonably priced. Jon.

I have always made my own. Even the linkage. Thread some aluminum rod. The fittings can be had at a REAL parts store. I used aluminum fuel line but steel would probably be better for you.

Contact "carbking". I'll bet Jon can steer you the right way:

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
