Holley Bowl Leak... any suggestions?

[1972Rallye]

Just installed a rebuilt (original model 4160) Holley on my '71 Super Bee. After trying to get it running right, I noticed a leak from the bowl plug.  See pic below... The plug is not accessable from the inside of the bowl. Has anyone had success repairing this sort of leak?

Is that a Holley 600 vacuum secondary? New fuel bowl maybe or a Factory Carter...I have one (Carter). Let me know.

If all else fails use some Seal All or Loctite Weld kind of like jb weld and its resistant to gasoline.

Yep... unfortunately, Holley doesn't make an exact replacement bown (no vent provision) or I would already have one ordered.  I want to stick with the Holley - just took of a Carter because I could never get it right.  Thanks for the offer!

Trying the epoxy fix tonight... I'll let you know if it works!

I would go with jb weld...just seems stronger...any thoughts? It's just going to be tough to get it smooth looking. Maybe toothpicks and a small, cosmetic, spatula....think beauty supply store. Maybe even a Popsicle stick for the smoothing.
