Well Ty @ TPC has done it yet again....He has taken my barely serviceable holley 660 center-squirters and turned them both into pieces of art. They really do speak for themselves....Here is a shot of my engine before http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/521/485engine_rt-med.jpg
here is a shot of the "carbs" going to the powdercoater... http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/521/485before.bmp
and here are the "same" ones back on the engine.... http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/521/485left_side1-med.jpg
another angle.. http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/521/485good_overall-med.jpg
a closer look.. http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/521/485good_closeup-med.jpg
just a few more lines to run and vvrroom vrrooom. http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/521/485right_side-med.jpg
As you can see, Ty does awesome work. When I opened the boxes, i'm not sure if it was the excitement of seeing my carbs or the powdercoating fumes, but I felt euphoric. Not quite to the point of lakesonly eek! , but I definately got lightheaded. Thanks for the amazing work Ty, thanks for the gift Froggy :D You really didn't have too.... but it 's killer that you did. I'll get you back sometime. But for now I owe you both airplane rides, boat rides and da beers. And as for the rest of you....see you at CBBB.

Looks great Clay! Don't forget to plumb the otherside as well :D or else ya might be lean on the top-end :rolleyes:
So am I final tuning this pig for ya at the CBBB or hopefully you're hauling in confidence...LOL
My boat will be wet Wednesday for the first time in 12 months since last CBBB, which I busted a valve spring 3 days before the event. Tomorrow I will break the camshaft in and then battle the chore of putting the inner springs back in :mad:
There's nothing like replacing springs on a pair of heads when they're installed...yack!

Ty...Still trying to figure out the plumbing, I am not quite sure exactly what I am going to do, but I'll have it done on Wed. Mine has already been wet, and everything works as advertised, so there shouldn't be too much drama. I got the timing(valve)sorted out and am ready to rumble. I had the intake off, and I could see the cam is broken in, so ya know, I have that going for me. See you soon and thanks again..

I will send ya some pics on ideas for mounting those lines.
I just finished mounting mine yesterday (Dual 650 double pumpers hybrids with 850 baseplates and 1850 bowls similar to your set-up). The difference is that mine have 08AN lines/fittings and little to no space for plumbing, but nonetheless it came out looking trick...
Check your email tomorrow.
