The solid chrome line is the most typical setup. One disadvantage is you need to disconnect both bowl inlets to rejet.

I did the 4150 conversion, was explicit about wanting the 4150-version dual feed line, Summit sent me a 4160 version anyway (too short for a 4150 carb). I ended up cutting the line towards the rear and using a left-over in-line fuel filter rubber hose to splice it. Now I only have to loosen a hose clamp to take either float bowl off.

Yea I used the 1552 also. I cant figure out what Holley was wanting me to do with the two fuel fittings and and rubber hose. Did they sent you a Y connector with your S/A?

Hey 2ponchos. I'm going to buy the Street avenger for my malibu, and I want to know what you did for the TV cable. I got the TCI bracket for the quadras&!t that's on it now, but I'm not sure the geometry is correct. I'd like to get everything right when I swap carbs. Do you have to get anything for the throttle arm to make it line up correctly? Thanks

Thanks, 2ponchos. All i need is the bracket then, there's a place to bolt the stud on the throttle arm that makes it line up right?
