Heater Hoses and Dual Fuel Inlets
Are there fitment issues between the plumbing of a dual feed carb, such as a Holley 4150, and the heater hoses? If so, what's the work around?

Re: Heater Hoses and Dual Fuel Inlets
It depends on the setup. I’m using a 90* brass fitting for the heater hose and a 45* -6AN fitting for the fuel line to go above the heater hose. Unfortunately, this is the best picture I have right now.

It looks like you could use the same 45 degree fitting at the end of the fuel log like I did to go between the valve cover and the heater hose.
