Review on Holley HOL 26 27 Fuel Fitting by Logan Goozmer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

This is a quality piece but brass would have been better.

I bought this for my Holley 4150 770 CFM Aluminum Street Avenger. I use it with a 1970 LT-1 Z-28 clone fuel system. The faucet looks pretty cool and is well made. Very high quality machine work as you would expect from Holly. My problem is that I would prefer brass. It tends to stick to the flare nut and detach from the carburetor first before detaching from the flare nut. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, but with the limited wrench access these Hollys have I can't stick anything in there to keep it still. Instead I have to remove the other end of the fuel line and twist the whole thing. I had to do this several times. And each time I pull it a little harder into the aluminum, carefully tightening the flare nut just enough that there's no leakage. It's not ideal. Maybe next time (I hate to suggest that even for the fuel system) I could use some Loctite on the carburetor threads and some anti-seize flare nut. The brass version is harder to find, but I'll keep looking.

Pros
  • Strong and durable
Cons
  • I'm concerned about this
