How do you switch the fuel inlet from one side to the other? There is no molded nut, it looks pressed in. (sorry pic's are not better, took them off my phone)

I allready had the carb on, and want to know if there was an easier way to do it. but I think not. Looks like I would have to pull the fitting out and drill the opposite side and tap both sides, plugging the side I don't want to use and putting a fitting on the side I want to use. For now it works find the way it is, so I'm done.

Weber used that same carb top on a whole bunch of different carbs made for a lot of diofferent makes and models of vehicles driven all over the world. Some were meant for single carb applications, and some were meant for more than one carb to be installed on the same engine. Not to mention some had a hand controlled choke, an electric controlled choke, and some even had an engine coolant controlled choke. So that's why that fuel port is plugged.

I suppose you could drill it out, tap it, switch your fitting over to it for your fuel line, and plug the other old fuel port off I guess.....

But to me it sure seems like a hell of a lot of trouble to go through when a little bit longer piece of some real cheap fuel line hose would solve the problem a hell of a lot easier.

"If it aint broke - don't fix it" is a pretty safe/cheap rule to follow sometimes IMHO.

I agree, I'm just leaving it alone.

Just use to after market Holley's, some come with both side drilled and tapped, others you just switch the float bowls from one side to the other.
