Oil hole locations in Weber Carb

I am going the Weber route and want to retain the OMP - where do I drill out holes for the oil feed into the carb? Thx (any pictures would be great)

Have you got your intake manifold yet? There should be a place for you to tap in oil lines. I'd recommend going that route rather than trying to introduce oil into the carb itself. I'm about to get my car back from my engine builder, I'll take some picks for ya if you like.

Gee, and all this time I thought that you were a decent guy. Since you're able to hit the quote button, I'll assume that you can read. Comprehension seems to be where you're lacking. Nowhere in my post does it say that I'm consulting about anything with my engine builder. FYI, I've done most of my mods on my car in my own driveway. My driveway just happens to be no place for me to port my engine. Plus, I decided to go with RPM to port my engine as he's done quite a few engines, whereas I have not. As far as the carb and fuel system, I'll be doing those myself.
I've always (mostly anyways) enjoyed seeking both support and information from this community which is usually quite helpful. It's bullshit like this that causes me to think otherwise. Perhaps you're merely just trying to be funny; in which case, please don't do it at my expense. I don't remember doing anything to **** you off. But you sure as hell did **** me off.

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but I found myself in need of defending myself against this oh-so-helpful "expert."

Wacky, I would ask that you contact me via PM if you want to either apologize or continue on with your analysis of my apparent **** knowledge.
