I just installed my new Victor Jr and holley yesterday. When I was putting the carb on, one holes where the carb studs set in the intake cracked to the outside. I did not over tighten it. Is this a big deal? Will it cause a vaccum leak? Is there anyway to fix it?

 

send it back...tell them it came that way. whats the date on your receipt? if its not so long ago it might work

 

I bought it a long time ago.

 

that sucks.....if it starts to leak at the base....the only thing i can think of is to jb weld it and re-thread it. probably will look like crap but it should work. on my performer intake there's 2 sets of bolt holes...and my edelbrock carb also has 2 sets of holes. i stripped one the other day so i just moved the bolt to the other hole. how is the holley set up? probably only 1 set of holes im assuming...
