    Tri-power carb wrench needed

    I'm looking where I can purchase a special very thin wrench to hold the fuel inlet tube fittings .
    that large nut fitting that reduces down to except the gas line fittings at the carb body.

    I bough a set of craftsman ignition wrench many years ago. I am not sure if they still sell them or if they will help you. They are thin.

      Take an old wrench and grind it down to size.

        Hello;
        Have a MAC Tools 1" wrench, for many years.
        Try your local Auto technician. He can probably direct you to a Tool Man.
        Hope that helps.

        And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
        I hope you dance

              You do not need a wrench for the filter housing. It should have been tight BEFORE you installed the carbs,

                You certainly need to backup that nut if you are going to get the fuel line back off or change the filter with the carb on the car.

                I have a fitting on one carb that I can actually get a wrench on. It's not correct for the Corvette. I was told it was from a Mopar Holley 2300 6-Pack setup. Don't know if that true, but I can say there is a better fitting in existance.
