this is probably a really dumb question that I will figure out 10 minutes after posting but oh well
I current have the stock autolite 2v on and am seriously considering swapping new intake/carb but noticed that the carbs I was looking at both have side or back fuel inlets. Is there a front inlet, vacuum-secondary 4v that is recommended, or should I bend a new filter to carb line. I was also wondering if you cant just use a braided SS line (would be flexible for future changes)?

This post was a little hard to follow. If you get a new carb/intake and the fuel inlet is not where your old one is, you can run a softline...aka rubber line....from your filter to where ever your inlet is. You can run it right from the fuel pump too.

Any Holley dual line carb will have an inlet close to where the autolite inlet is.
