1. Pull Carb
2. Pack INSIDE The Fuel INLET to Catch Debris
3. Drill-Out Plug with a #7 'Tap Drill' (Bit)
4. Tap Bore for 1/4-20
5. Clean out All debris after Tapping and Vacuum Out THEN Remove the Packing
5. Clean Contact areas with a Degreaser (Acetone) And Then DRY!
6. Install 1/4-20 Set Screw with Locktite 'RED' or suitable Sealer
7. Reinstall Carb
8. Pressurize and Inspect for Leaks


OR, with Carb In Place
1. Take a Punch and Drive the Plug in Just Enough to Create a 'Adequate' Depression. Clean, Degrease and FILL Over the Plug with the Best Sealer. (I) would use Locktite 'Blue'. Because Locktite Works on the Principle of Corrosion.
2. Let 'CURE' Over-Night
3. Pressurize and Inspect for Leaks

You could also drive that plug in Deep Enough, Then Drive a Second Plug IN On top of the first, with Sealer ON IT. Be Careful Not to Drive the First Plug In Too Far!! This is probably what I would do, because I could do it in about 3 Minutes. Be sure to Degrease all, so the Sealer/locktite will Adhere.

Good Luck with It

P.S. Have a Great Time at the Car Show, with Peace of Mind
