New Edelbrock 1406 Installation../ 3/8 - 5/16

["K. Eric Wolfe" <kewolfe@xxxxxxxxx>]

While the 5/16 will fit the 3/8 (with a little lubricant), I have seen brass reducers that allow connections of hoses with different IDs.

You can get the 5/16 line over the carb fitting pretty easily.  Lubricate it a little and push it right on.
