| Marine Carb Besides the flame arrester aircleaner and the inward turning vent tubes what makes a marine carb a marine carb. I've heard dockside rumors that you could make vent tubes out of brakeline and be ok. Who has an opinion?

| Yes you can bend brake lines and turn them in to a U. I assume you are talking Holley. On Q-Jets there is a little fiber plate on the rod for the acceleator pump in some models.

| Thanks Gonzo, I'm tired of fighting my old Holley carb and am in the market for another. The stock carb on my 454 is a 650 spreadbore single pumper with vacuum secondaries. The spreadbore is a bit of a bastard child in the Holley lineup and I would like to replace it with something more popular for future servicing.
