tkach Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 How do you plan to route this fuel line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillZ260 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I ran a 3/8" alum line trough the stock fuel line mounts. I took the rubber clamps and cut them out a bit to fit the alum line but still keep pressure on it. And I'm running a Holley Red fuel pump, haven't had any issues so far, but i've got less than 300 miles on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaparral2f Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Replacing the line with 3/8 will do wonders for you. I run a holley red pump and haven't had any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78Z/250GTO Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 My plan was to route it the same as original if possible W/ a zig or zag here or there if needed to get to new hook up location. Using the stock pump sounds good to me,as long as adequate fuel is supplied. It will also save money time and fabrication..... thanks for the feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjhines Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 The trick is getting them in there without kinking them or using a bunch of connectors. It would help to have a lift but you can do it on jackstands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
