I recently purchased the Mr Gasket fuel inlet kit for edelbrock performer carburetors, pictured here http://www.jegs.com/i/Mr.+Gasket/720/29883/10002/-1. Once I got everything installed (I was trying to route some new fuel line for my new pump, but that's a different story) the plug at the 1/8" NPT port kept leaking and I couldn't get it to stop. I put in a different fitting and it, too, leaked. I called JEGS and they have sent me a replacement, that I hope to install Friday, but I am worried that this one will leak, too. I'm hoping my original one was just a simple defect, but I wonder if I destroyed the threads or didn't put it together right.
Has anybody else installed these type of lines and have you had any trouble getting them to seal? Any tips on ensuring it doesn't leak?
Thanks!
