omp lines + holley float bowl

For any of you guys out there that are running your omp lines to your primary float bowl on your holley setup. where did you get a barbed fitting for the float bowl sight? Thanks.

Most of the ones I've seen you can get at your local HomeDepot and its good to use a little JB weld to make sure its a sealed fitting.

jb weld would work if you are damn positive that's a permanent piece... what if you decide to go premix? the safest bet would be to get some "fuel teflon tape". it's thicker than your normal teflon roll. works great!

got it done, found a bradd fitting with the right thread pitch and right nipple size. Works great! The way it was hooked up before it had just been t'd into the brake booster fitting on the RB manifold. Now that the only thing hooked to the brake booster, is the brake booster, I have noticed a significant improvement in how it is running. Better idle, better brake feel, and not to mention the oil is mixing into the fuel like how it was originally ment to do. I have always pre-mixed as a precaution and am glad I did this whole time because with where the booster fitting was it was only oiling the second rotor. Maybe later I will just plug the brake booster fitting on the rb intake and run the brake booster to the fitting provided on my holley that I have capped off at the moment. Thanks for the help.

I am running an Edlebrock and I just inserted a couple of the nipples from a Nikki in each of the primary ports on the RB intake. Seems to work fine and with the engine vacuum, I am sure that the gas and oil are going to mix fine. I know a guy thats be rebuilding rotarys for 20 years and this is what he does and has had not problems.
