That being said, I ran rubber 3/8" fuel injection grade line from the hard line on the frame to the fuel pump, then around the front of the engine compartment to the drivers side, & then to the carb inlet of my 6cyl. I ran it this way because I was continuously having a problem w/vapor-lock & needed to route the line farther away from the heat of the engine (the 6cyl had it routed over the exhaust manifold, or, the source of my heat).
It was about 5 ~ 6ft of fuel inj grade hose & I replaced it each spring regardless. I considered it cheap insurance against failure. I also ran double clamps on all of the lines.

I agree ,use the fuel injection hose. Alot of states have gone to oxiginated fuel during the summer and with all the newer additives they can eat up hoses. Also if your fuel pump is older than say nine years it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace it also
The hose is marked SAE30R9
