Default 2 Barrel fuel bowl.

Went out to get ready for a local car show this morning and smelt
Gas ,I open the hood to find gas leaking out of the rear carb. Tried
To tighten the fuel line up ,it started leaking worse. Looks like the threads
In the fuel bowl at the filter are stripped. I guess a new bowl is what I need . Does anyone know where I could order one of these? Maybe a
Vendor here somewhere or a shop. Thanks in advance for your help.
The car show will go on with me ! Guess I will go out and take it off the car, then begin my hunt.

Check with Lars, he had a thread here not long ago about a Holley fuel bowl repair. It was a 4 bbl, not sure if the same repair would work.
