This is a project I have been wanting to do for a couple of years and after reading threads here, I finally have all the parts compiled to do it. I wanted to make sure I wasn't cutting up the existing setup in case I had to go back to the Rochester. So, I am replacing the entire fuel line, the carb, and the throttle lever bracket.
For others who have wanted to make the conversion from the Rochester Spreadbore to the Holley replacement here is what you will need for the AQ260A engine (1984 Bayliner Contessa with Command Bridge; two helms thus two throttle cables at the carb).
1 Holley #4175 (Spreadbore replacement) (I purchased a factory refurbished from Holley) $269.00
1 Gasket Kit #108-37 (from Holley; this is a spacer to clear the thermostat housing) approx. $38
(Comes with the spacer, top and bottom gaskets, and mounting bolts.)
1 30" brakeline #813-5468 (powder coated) or 813-1232 (Steel, not stainless), I chose powder coat (from NAPA Autoparts) $5.83
(I also bought a tube bender at NAPA to bend the brakeline; $13.11)
(Thanks to Tony, this was a find. I plan to use it for the fuel line from the pump to the carb, as Tony did.)
1 throttle lever #856839 (bracket that allows 2 throttle cables to hook to throttle lever on carb) (from Volvo) $47.22
(This is the same bracket that is on the Rochester that has been hard to find but Volvo does still make it.)
(Rick this is the one you were looking for also.)
(I do not recall who the member was that actually provided the part number but he is a hero!)
1 spacer #855891 (spacer between the lever above and the carb's trottle lever) (from Volvo) $10.00
(you could use #10 flat washer stack to do this cheaper than $10)
If you look close in the closeup pic, you'll see the small brass space on the top mounting screw.
Once I get to the installation, I'll let you know how it goes.
