    Changed out the Holley 1909 carb, on the 62 Comet, for a rebuilt Falcon (manual choke) carb model of the same year.

    I got a good rebuild (seems to be a rare occurrence) and after a few adjustments, the car runs great.
    However, the fuel supply line going to the carb is dripping when I hit the throttle.

    I did a search and only found the teflon tape vs. gas post and a couiple others that shot off on tangents.

    What do you guys use for small fuel leaks?

    If possible I want something that's not permanent.
    It's not an emergency, but I dont want to drive it around with fuel dripping onto the exhaust manifold.

    Thanks.

    If it's a pipe thread retape it and reistall. If it's an inverted flair simply loosen up and retighten.
