One of the Places that can Leak is the screw-on Cover for the Needle+Seat. There is a new replacement that corrects that Problem. If You keep the Teapot I would recommend You replace that Cover.

Reading back over all the post I can relate to everything Florida Phil wrote. I am new y blocks but have been fooling with Chrysler engines and GM for a long time . I do remember not wanting to touch the anything to do with timing fearing the engine would never run . My timing light wiring always seemed to wind up on a exhaust manifold carb return springs were made of rubber bands. Engine flush worked well until all the crud washed into the pan and starved the engine for oil. I am just rambling.

I wish I knew the tricks they used at PONY (out of business now) that made THEIR teapot rebuilds run so strong. My main 4000 complaint is having to frequently replace the accelerator pump cup. Seems like nobody makes one that holds up long to ethanol. Also, the threads inside the float bowl that hold the air cleaner stud often get stripped. I finally gave up on repairing mine, and just permanently mounted an oversized stud to the bowl cover. The Loadomatic setup performance CAN be maximized sufficiently with the right tools/parts, but it is really beyond the ability of most, and practically inconvenient.

If you didn’t die in the carb fire you were killed when the brakes failed because of the single reservoir master cylinder....yea right.

Or you were impaled on a 1955 TBird steering wheel. Nostalgia is great as long as it doesn't hurt you.

I just posted another article concerning all of my recent work on the Holley 4000. If you visit this page you will get a list of all of the articles with the tag line "Holley 4000" that I have on my site. https://www.hotrodreverend.com/blog/categories/holley-4000there is quite a bit on there with more to come. Videos, pictures, diagrams, write-up's, etc. I'm no expert, YMMV
