Review on πŸ”§ Upgrade Your Engine's Efficiency with Edelbrock 8089 Carburetor Inlet Fitting by Noah Smith

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not the best solution, but it's almost the only solution.

First Edelbrock should include this in their carburetor. The straight fuel line that comes with the carburetor will not work with most standard breathers as they will hit the fitting or fuel line. But this banjo is only good for one occasion. straight down. Otherwise you will have to grind off extra material from the carburetor to fit it in at the right angle. Secondly, after installation, you can not connect the gas pipe. Insufficient clearance between carburetor and nipple when attempting to install a hose. But there is a solution. Using the original rubber coated washer, you can purchase or make a washer to move the fitting away from the inlet. Buying this washing machine is not easy, but the manufacture is dubious. I finally found one that works: Mr Gasket 491950 -6 to 5/8-20 Carb Fitting Black Gasket. The "spacer" is actually an aluminum washer that gives you the space you need to install the fuel line. You can see the installation order in my photo: original rubber washer, aluminum washer, plastic washer, etc. Good luck!

Pros
  • Made from high quality materials
Cons
