#8 to 7/8-20 X-Short Holley Carb Adapter

The XRP #8 to 7/8-20 X-Short Holley Carb Adapter (part number 700118) is a precision carburetor inlet fitting designed for marine engines running Holley carburetors. This straight adapter transitions an 8 AN male port to a 7/8-20 inch male thread, providing the compact connection required in tight engine compartments where space constraints demand a minimal-profile solution. Constructed from aluminum with red anodized finish, it combines corrosion resistance with lightweight durability—critical characteristics for salt-water and freshwater boating applications.

The X-Short design delivers functional advantage in confined engine bays where standard-length adapters would interfere with surrounding components. The 8 AN male connection accepts compatible hoses and fittings across most marine fuel and inlet systems, while the 7/8-20 inch male thread mates directly with Holley carburetor inlet ports. Red anodized aluminum provides reliable corrosion protection in marine environments where steel fittings deteriorate rapidly. Weighing only 0.08 lbs, the adapter introduces negligible weight penalty while maintaining robust structural integrity under operating pressures and vibration.

This fitting serves serious boaters rebuilding or retrofitting Holley-equipped marine engines where OEM adapter availability is limited or dimensional constraints require a compact solution. Weekend anglers performing engine service or restoration work benefit from the straightforward male-to-male threading that simplifies installation without special tools. Offshore and inshore fishing operations demanding reliable fuel system continuity find value in XRP's reputation for precision manufacturing and marine-grade corrosion resistance. Each adapter ships individually and integrates seamlessly into Holley carburetor fuel inlet plumbing across fresh and salt water applications.
