leaky holley! HELP!!!

[409skylark]

Hello everyone,
im a newbie here with a leaky holley. Just did the proform body to a 3310. The fuel inlets are leaking. Ive already bought new inlet fittings, chrome line ( a cheapie), hulked on the fittings a tight as humanly possible and even in desperation tried teflon tape. Any ideas what to do? Maybe a big hammer? LOL! Im going to do a upper motor rebuild after this leaking stops. I dont want nice shiney parts ruined right away. Thanks! Drew.:confused:

Do your fuel fittings have the sealing washers on them? Is it leaking at the fitting to the carb or the fuel line to the fitting?
It is never recommended to use teflon tape on any fuel fittings, it is better to use teflon paste. Jim Burek
