Hardlines For Quadrajet Question? (Electric choke)
I have a question regarding the two hard lines on the pass side of the carb that go into the intake. They fit into holes somewhat loosely in a plate thats bolted to the intake. I'm worried about vac. leaks in those areas. What do you guys do to make them fit or seal into the intake?

Thanks Joe!
Those lines are a fresh air intake anyway. If you follow them all the way up to the back of the carb air horn, you see that the line is completely open to ambient air pressure anyway. The issue is sucking in dust, not a vacuum leak. Usually the factory lines are a tight slip fit into the hot air stove in the crossover.
