<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'>If you are looking for OEM appearance disregard this post... If you want Oil Filter reliability look into the right angle adapter from FORD. It was used on their E150 vans... Fits a Tiger nicely and is an excellent replacement for the stock set up... My two bits...<br>

Seems like everything I touch on the car develops some kind of issue. I got<br>
it running with the old Ford Carb and even with a rebuild kit, the accel<br>
pump failed. So Put on an old Holley 2bbl race carb I had lying about and<br>
like the Ford carb refused to play nicely. After the rebuild, and it had sat<br>
for a long while so I took great care in the rebuild, it failed to stop the<br>
fuel flow when the bowl was full. Interspersed with this was a honey do<br>
project of re-grouting some floor tile joints. We live on an old lake bed<br>
and even with an artificial alluvial fan to build on, floors and concrete<br>
still cracks. Life in the desert. But back to the carb. I swapped a pile of<br>
needle and seats into that carb and nothing worked, but this morning I<br>
surfed onto a fix it page for Holley carbs and found the solution. Well, not<br>
quite but close. It had to be the needle and seat even though I tried<br>
several. So off with the carb! Remove the fuel bowl and holy cow. The float<br>
would touch the top of the bowl and still not shut off the fuel. After<br>
staring at it for maybe 10 seconds, I decided that the float arm had somehow<br>
become bent. Adjusted the arm to put the float into a "basic" starting<br>
position, and then screwed in the needle and seat. This time it could touch<br>
the float arm and actually worked! Another holy cow! Turned the bowl upside<br>
down to let the float close the needle and blew into the inlet and I turned<br>
blue trying. No leaky.. all back together and it works. But, the car won't<br>
let me win quite yet. It is getting way too much fuel now. Dang. So I<br>
decided that I need some new main jets. Now I need to remove the carb again<br>
and remove the bowl and remove the jets and see that number they are. Then<br>
will get some a couple of sizes smaller and them maybe one more set 1 size<br>
smaller than those. As it turns out, the car has mostly spent it's entire<br>
life within the near confines of sea level. I tis not at sea level now. 2700<br>
feet up so I guess I should have anticipated that. But I am an EFI kinda guy<br>
now, lol. SO I missed that. I have a complete EFI set up that may inhabit<br>
the engine compartment soon, lol. So while messing with starting and<br>
fiddling with the car, I noticed a growing puddle of oil on the shop floor.<br>
Wha? SO I started looking around by the oil filter, it is the OEM stock set<br>
up, and found that the hose that connects to the oil filter aluminum piece<br>
underneath side is very oily. I suspect that it has s**t the bed. Another<br>
little gotcha. Now I ask, any of you folk replaced the OEM lines with<br>
braided SS lines? If so were you able to find adapters for the block fitting<br>
from inverted flare to AN sizes? I like that OEM block adapter because I tis<br>
so flat and skinny. Race car has a Canton unit that I ground a lot off of<br>
and made an plate that bolts onto the head to hold the oil filter adapter<br>
there. So I could steal that, but I'd rather have as much OEM as I can<br>
without overspending the national debt. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Any help from you all on what you did to solve this issue? <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
And then there is the soon to happen install of rack booties. Watched a vid<br>
on how to do that without removing the tie rod ends from the rack tie rods.<br>
Was actually a very slick process. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Anyway, hope ya'll have some ideas and experiences with oil filter hoses,<br>
adapters and such. Listening for ya.<br>

Larry, early on in my life with my Tiger the Holly 600cfm 4 barrel carb<br>
acted exactly like you describe. After a rebuild, new needle and seat(s)<br>
and much frustration, I checked the fuel pump pressure at the carb - it was<br>
producing 12 psi. Way too much for the Holly. I replaced the pump with a<br>
new one making 6 psi and it has been working like a champ for the last15<br>
years and some 25,000 miles.<br>
<br>
Might check your fuel pressure.....<br>
<br>
Dave<br>
