5 January 2019 - Edelbrock 1405

I was able to test drive the car today.  I drove it for about 20 minutes to check the fuel lines/fittings for leaks.  There appears to be a very slight leak at the output port of the fuel pressure regulator to the carb.  The pipe thread fitting is the source of the leak.  What is happening, is that there are no leaks for a few days, then that fitting starts to leak slightly.  Wipe it off and no leak until a few days after that.  I don't have another -6an male to 3/8" npt male fitting.  So it this gets worse, I will replace the fittings with a 3/8" npt male to 3/8" fuel barb, then install rubber fuel line to the carb.  That is not the preferred setup, but if it works without leaks I'll do it.
