Help-I put my 4bbl float bowls in carb cleaner and the PLASTIC plugs in the sides by the fuel transfer tube have turned to mush. Are these replaceable? I wonder if"gasahol" will do the same damage.

vfast-My kit did not come with any plugs like that. The plug is usually metal and pressed in like a freeze plug. With all this BS I am going through, I will probably be better off dumping the motorcraft/holley and getting an aftermarket holley. Holley rebuild kits are everywhere, and kits for the stock carb are special order-and double the price!

vfast - how much for the 600? A buddy of mine may be looking for one sometime in the near future.
