Oil injection lines on holley ?

The way we used to do is, you fab up some longer lines. Remove the Carb. Drill 2 1/4 holes near the butterfly and feed the carb oil through there. And to manipulate the hard-plastic hose, just use a lighter and bend to shape. Hold down with some Plastic Ties and you're all set.

yes it's a RB carb, 465cfm for the stock port 12a.

the RB holley uses a barb fitting threaded into the site plug hole of the primary bowl. i used a vac fitting in the shape of an "F" at the omp to make the 2 lines into 1. then connect that one line to the barb fitting in the primary bowl.

Here's what I ended up doing. Drilled 2 1/4 inch holes near the back of the butterfly. Doing that made me keep the original length of the plastic oil lines, drilled two 1/4 inch holes at the bottom of the racing beat air cleaner then reinstalled the original lines through their.
