I'm with Sam there. Run the flame factory type arrestor since you mentioned you have one? I think I might have a template kit for the hole in the base if you need one. Easy to drill that and mount the arrestor.

I think you might have less issue if you ditch that fuel log and run a conventional set of hard lines? Just saying.

What hood are you running with that tall breather? Fiberglass Crossram hood?

Yes, not sure about that fuel log either. Whats the advantage?

You can usually find the flame arrestor's in junk yards on 68?? to maybe 72 Chevy pickups or even the bigger trucks with that air cleaner set up.

Yes running a fiberglass crossram hood. The fuel log is a part of the Edelbrock STR10 kit. I bought the intake quite a few years ago NOS. It had everything including directions, fuel log and fittings and linkage. I think I found what I need. Should be here in a couple of days. I will report back.

I could use the correct spot to drill the intake Graeme.

So.... It went better than expected! Found a fitting. It was a bulkhead heater hose fitting made by vintage air part number 34236-vug. Bought at Summit for 19.00 + shipping. It is a 5/8 fitting, but the 3/4 went over the "fat" end which is used for the hose stop.

Graeme (NorCam) sent me some great pics on where to drill the hole. (Thanks Graeme!) Drilled with a unibit. Also drilled the top for the cotter pin with a 1/8 bit.

Installed a 90 deg fitting on the valve cover. I have to find the box with all the valve cover fittings so this plastic one was used for mock up till that box is found. Cut in the 3/4 heater hose. Installed in less than an hour.





Thank you to everyone that had a comment or idea.
Happy days!
Scott
