Tomorrow I'm going to install them, any tips and where's the best place to get stainless steel or steel fuel and vacuum lines locally?

I am guessing your carburetors are a matched set? with matching ID numbers and internal metering? If not, better start again, they must match due to the large number of variations in the Model B. Off the shelf rebuilds usually don't work, since rebuilders mix and match parts, thats why you won't find number tags.

What year/size engine?

I buy a choke cable from a British Triumph sports car.
Most of the imports in the 50's and 60's ran dual carbs and developed various ways to run cables. The Triumph has a single knob and splits into 2 cables behind the dash. Simple installation, just replace the knob with the Chevy one. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 408 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 408 | I switched to dual carbs and love the way engine runs. Send me you number and i will text you pictures of fuel line set up i used.

Get a unison tool to make them play nicely together.
