Nylon washers? Might try going back to the original style instead. Yes they shrink with age and non use but IMO sealed better.

I am never a fan of those nylon washers.  I do torque all the screws down to appropriate torque and did not over tighten.  I will try new bowl screws and new gaskets and maybe a dab of black rtv around washers and make it unnoticeable.  I am at the point with this thing of just throwing on my 750 DP and making a museum piece of the old 735. I even have an old 735 core with the lemans bowls.  A ultrasound cleaning and throw that on the DP.

Yes I did. It ended up being the pesky sealing washers on the bowl screws.

1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / Holley 735

Last post by lwg8tr0514 - Today at 12:34:49 PM

Saw in the valleys of the intake...the dreaded fuel leak from the from bowl\accelerator pump.  Rebuilt with kit from Holley. Not a cheap Chinese kit.  Looked at accelerator pump cover for flatness and gently sanded completely flat...which usually works.  Rebuilt carb and around the gasket leaking worse and even began to leak when the pump was activated.  I took off car and as a stop gap, put black RTV around acc pump housing and that did fix the squirting around gasket upon throttle.  Looked this am after I brought car up to temp and looked for leaks. Actually sat there and watched for leaks...none. Only happens when the car comes up to temp and then cools down. Primary bowl emptying out.  I felt this am and wet around acc pump again and I think at metering block.  About to order a kits from Air Fuel Spark. and try this all over again.  I have been doing Holley rebuilds for 40 years and this carb giving me fits.  I am afraid either the body or bowl has a warpage in it. Anybody else have this problem after a rebuild?

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, sorry for the delayed response, I have "notify me of replys" checked but got no Email ? I believe both of the upper A arms and 1 of the lower ones are original.
I thought I had seen a place somewhere that restored A arms with the correct ball joints, rivets etc. but cant remember who.
Thanks Bob for the Choko link, I will contact them about the steering stuff for sure.
TP

For the uppers there are no new correct style balljoints out there. you may be able to use your originals. I sent a set out to Marcus a couple of years ago to detail and reinstall my original ball joints and a new  MOOG kit provided the plated metal part that holds the rubber in check. I actually just purchased a whole front suspension and steering and spindles and rotors off a guy who was going the restomod route on a 69 California car. LCAs were aftermarket. I basically bought for the upper control arms and tie rod adjusters as well as some of the PS pieces. Tie rods were all aftermarket.

On whom ever you choose, make sure it is an enclosed unit.

Besides protection from the weather, you will also keep those interested guessing as to what is being transported.

Again best of luck on your endeavors
