Holley 1904 Glass Fuel Bowls

[Anonymous]

I need to adjust my fuel pressure and would like to get a glass bowl to see the float level. Is there a place that sells new glass bowls or even decent used ones? I need 3.

Thanks,
Shaun

I'm not going to be much help, but just recently either here or the www.thejalopyjournal.com I read a post about a place that makes the bowls. Not only doi they, but you can have colored glass. Sorry I don't have more for ya.

Call James at Joblot automotive in queens village NY. Order part no EAA-9559. Cost $750 for the glass bowl. Phone 1-800-221-0172. Have him send you a catalog while you are at it. Having that catalog may save you a lot of trouble finding parts and their prices are better or comparable to other resto parts suppliers.
They only sell the glass bowl. You will need to canniballize a bad holley that had a glass bowl for its mounting ring and four clamps. Periodically a few can be had on e-bay. I bid on a bunch of them a month ago, but the bids went too high.
Try posting a want-ad in the Ford Carburator Forum website. I got a few parts from people who answered my wanted ads.
also try Fordbarn swap and forum website. They have a lot of helpful folks who sign in regularly there too.

$750!?
I can buy a complete set of glass bowls for our "fine china set" for less than that.

Sorry. Thats supposed to be $7.50
Sometimes I hit the keys to fast and it misses.

there you go, that's more like it. Actually, that sounds like a great deal! I think I may buy a few in case I ever want to switch. I think those are such good looking carbs. I have a glass bowl pump sitting in a box too. I dig industrial art. Thanks for the lead.

It's http://www.joblotauto.com

But only the bowls are available; you still need the bits to attach it to the carb body.

Wrong post... my bad.

There's one down at the yard I like to visit, if you want the whole carb. For $750 I'll sell you the one I just bought. I'll even throw in shipping .

Crazy!

 

[Drumhead_Dan]

How much were they going for?

 

[ellum]

I have no idea. But I'm not willing to spend $750 vor a carb

 

[Drumhead_Dan]

I'll take 600, but just this once...

If you're ever in the Bay Area, I'll loan a set off of mine. It's a serious pain to set those and can't see how to do it without at least one glass bowl.

 

[Drumhead_Dan]

I was just kidding about the price, there is a complete one down at the junkyard if you want me to check on it for you.
