<P dir=ltr>Early alpines have an overflow pipe that drops the fuel leftover in
the manifold onto the headers to vaporise off.... I kid you not!!!</P>

<DIV dir=ltr>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default>As I cruised around a
few web sites to scare up a rebuild kit for my stock two barrel, I came
across some interesting pictures. The stock 2 barrel carb is from
the "2100" family. The slightly later but related 2150 family has a
significant difference.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default>I'm suspecting that for
one reason or another, fuel came out of the vent on the top of the fuel
bowl, boiling, leaky valve, or whatever, and this is what fueled my recent
fire. The 2150, instead of just having an open vent hole, has a
little fitting that was apparently designed to accept a hose, perhaps to
drain any overflow to a safe location.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default>So I'm looking for an
extremely low profile right angle fitting... I'm thinking aquarium
hose size... That will fit under the stock air cleaner...</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small" class=gmail_default>Any other ideas out
there?</DIV>
