    I rebuilt my 3310 with an upgrade proform main body which I highly recomend to everyone. Ive installed 2 different new chrome lines and both leak between the nut on the line and the big bowl nut (new lso). They both thread in fine so im pretty sure its not cross threaded. Any ideas? Is their a no leak fuel line avalible? Im ready for a new cam intake swap on the boogie box this weekend, but dont want a leaking mess on my new parts. Thanks everyone!

    i had the same problem and one way is to make sure the chrome is cleaned of the ends of the tobing where it mates to the surface or several companies make adjustable dual feed i bought a Russell and it worked great.

    leak

    the male & female ends ( fitting tubing & the carb
    neck must have the same angle to fit properly. that is they must seat/mate exactly in order to seal properly . similar thing can occur when u install new brake lines to wheel cylinders or calipers . if the the brake line does not fit flush on the wheel cylinder fitting, u have to tighten the dickens out of the fitting nut to make a leakfree seal .
