Re: [Chevelle-list] Fuel Line
Yes it's rubber, thanks to all for the advice, I need to take another look at the line, perhaps I can re-arrange it somehow.

[Chevelle-list] Fuel Line
I have a 71 with a small block. I am creating a new fuel line from the pump to the carburetor using a braided steel line and aluminum fittings. My question is, the lower radiator hose touches the fittings and line, is this acceptable or does the entire run need to be unobstructed? It touches a little bit, not pressing on the line or fitting.

[Chevelle-list] Fuel line fittings?
Hey what are you guys using for aftermarket fuel line fittings? I need to redo mine and have been looking at Russell, Earls and Summit. Is there a difference? Anyone using Summit? I need to get a dual feed line fuel filter and steel braided hose and straight fittings. I have a built 396 big block and it's been dynoed at 440 hp. Thanks for any help. Dan
