Somehow, I don't see my reply on here.  Anyhow, I had one made up for my 54 Merc from Classic Tube from Lancaster,NY. It was excellent & pretty reasonable.Google it  & they have a big website.

I like the Summit carb. I'm no expert but after a little reading I was able to get mine running good. They are fairly simple to tune and kits are available to tune the idle circuits and accelerator pump circuits. On a related note I found all the fittings I needed from Inline Tube except for the one that goes into the manifold. I ended up finding an original for that. I'll post pics after the installation.

I made my own using a bender and flaring tool from HF. The fuel filter came from Ecklers and I don't like fuel rubber tubing and hose clamps much. The air cleaner covers a lot of the work up.


I've made my own tubing as well. I use brake line for that and I use a couple of good flaring and tube bending tools.

I ended up getting a 57 T-bird line kit. Now I have another question for you guys. I have the fittings from the fuel pump to filter and filter to carb. I cannot find the 3/8" npt x 7/16 inverted flare 90 for the manifold vacuum line. I also need a 3/8"npt x 1/2-20 inverted flare to connect to my carb ( Summit 600 cfm). I've done numerous Internet searches and at the local auto parts stores. Does anyone have any ideas? I have not checked at NAPA yet but it's a small store so it doesn't hold much promise.

What you refer to as being 3/8” NPT X 7/16” inverted flare in reality should be 3/8 NPT X ¼” inverted flare.  Inverted flare fittings are based on the tubing size, not the nut size.
 
The Summit carb will require what’s called a 3/8” inverted flare on the 3/8” steel line.  I typically use 3/8” brake lines to make the fuel lines and reflare one end as deemed necessary once the correct length and curves have been determined.  Here's a picture of 3/8" brake line with an inverted flare fitting being used on a Summit carburetor.

Thank you sir for the compliments . The exhaust manifolds are done with Eastwood Gray Hi-Temp coating ( rattle can) part # 10395.
That car has a D code 312 , it came from the factory with an 1850 style Holley 4bbl so the linkage rod was configured by Ford.
I imagine the only source for the throttle linkage is the used parts market , I have never seen reproductions.
