I can't say if generic line would work (probably it
would), but be sure to inspect all the other plumbing
around the tank. There are quite a few rubber and

It appears that I need to replace the metal fuel line from the tank to the
firewall on my '74 Spit. Is there anything special about that pipe, or can
I use generic fuel pipe from my corner parts store?

It seemed like maybe you wanted to know the stock settings.
According to Haynes, rear toe-"out" should be 1/32nd to 3/32nds (.079 to

While I've got the manual open, camber should be 0 to 2 degrees.
Hope that helps,

This is the set up on my car so far, there has not been any head
work done and it is running on a stock cam.
The roller rockers that I am interested in are direct re
Adding shims increase the toe-out and removing then increase the toe-in.

If you add a shim between the radius arm and the frame you will increase
your toe out or decrease your toe in.
Visualize:
Toe in is the amount the tire tries to steer/roll towards the center of the
car, toe out is the amount the tire tries to roll away from the center of
the car while driving f

The only problem is that they/I do not know
