Eric-
Edelbrock did not design that carb. It is a copy of a very old (ancient) Carter AFB carb that came on many GM vehicles in the 50s and 60s, including Corvettes. It was superseded by Holley which in turn was superseded by Qjets until EFI appeared in the 80s.
Not one Carter-equipped car left GM with a rubber fuel line, AFAIK.

Thanks Mike
The only evidence I had that it was an Edelbrock carb. was the sticker on the front of it. So if I understand you correctly Edelbrock copied the design from Carter and they now market it. I think tomorrow I will try and photograph the receipt for the engine work and reformat it and see if you guys can make any of it out. I suppose the important thing is that there are no issues replacing the rubber for metal.

This is the fuel system...and so many people do not do what it takes to keep the car safe and NOT ON FIRE.
I custom make fuel systems and they can take some time...but this is usually because there is NOTHING out there that will work and it has to be custom made.
So many of these dual feed fuel lines that go on Holley's will connect...but conflict with the heater hose fitting on the intake.
I can say...it can be made and work.

I know what to ask for now. Just tried to attach an image of the applicable line from the PO's receipt which mentions the carb. Can someone please tell me what the word is between Chrome and Carb. Assembly which appears to start with f. After Mike mentioned Carter carbs. I had a look at their site and found one with an Edelbrock sticker on it that looks a lot like mine. Probably won't get a chance to look at the engine again until spring so was therefore just trying to identify exactly which one it is for interests sake.

Agreed Paul
This helps me make a bit of an assessment of what shop does the work though.
Spring project can add up here with emission equipment, new tires, hurst shifter ??... and then there is the left window issue. All in good time. Anyway I have wandered a bit off the original question on the thread. Thanks for all the info. guys.
