On your carb to swap jets do you have to take off the fuel bowl or does it have access ports?

That is good to know. Those vinatge air things are nice. I have installed a couple of them. If the new ones are like the old ones. I would mock up all the lines then take them to a hydraulic shop and have the hose ends crimped. The kits i installed where like push loc hose ends with hose clamps. They worked but leaked over time.
