    I got myself a double pumper carb from my buddy for free and I got a rebuild kit but it didn't include seals for this tube. I don't know what the tube is called or where to find the seals! Could someone help me find them?

    Get an o-ring kit from Harbor Freight.
    Double pumpers I've had and seen did not use a single feed from the front bowl and tube. I'd get new double feed bowls and eliminate the tube. Summit, Jegs, Speedway, Compe***ion Products, etc.

    There just O ring's I believe. It's been a long long time since a double pumper had a single inlet.

    What's the "list" number on that carb?

    Any speed shop will carry those O rings. They fit on the ends of the transfer tube. Be careful when ***embling your carb back together as sometimes they get "pinched" and will leak, I use a bit of rubber grease, cheers

    I believe it's a big and little...Quadrajet style Holley.
    The correct kit should have the o-rings included.

    It's called the "transfer tube". Old carbs use O-rings. New carbs use a little hat shaped seal. Go to your local speed shop. Use a little grease on the seals when you're ***embling the carb. It'll make it easier and protect the seal.
