Holley 4150?
Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions for using a Holley 4150 carb and keeping the factory fuel line & filter setup for a '65 327/350 (L79)? Thanks!

4150's and 4160's both come in single feed and dual feed versions but I'm guessing that you're asking about converting from a single feed to a dual feed. If that's the case, you'll need to cut some tube and use some flex line, rubber or steel braided, to make the connection.

Do you think its OK to use rubber fuel lines into the carb from the fuel filter?

Don't run the rubber line. It not only unsafe but looks cheesy. I had a mechanic buddy do mine for a few beers, some fittings and fuel line. If you don't know anyone who can come to you, temporarily, use the rubber line to drive the car to a shop who can do this for you. I can't imagine it being very expensive, it took about 20 minutes to do mine.

The stock 2818 used a neoprene rubber line between the fuel filter and carb fuel inlet (see fuel inlet hose barb on John Z's picture above) on the 64-65 L76 and 65 L79 engines. I see no reason why that can't be used on your replacement carb.
There are also neoprene rubber lines used between the tank and fuel line and fuel line to fuel pump. Like all things that can deteriorate over time, they need periodic replacement.

Send it to Eric Jackson www.vintagemusclecarparts.com he'll rebuild it RIGHT, and set it up on an engine before he sends it back to you.
