When I was looking at the 1406, summit had a hard line for it that ran most or all of the way between the pump and the carb. It was summit branded, so it was pretty inexpensive as far as those things go.

Back on topic, I would keep the vent hoses from the valve cover for the reasons mentioned. You could go with vents instead, but they might blow oil on the engine. That would not be an improvement.

Re: Clean up the motor and compartment

I put this motor in my 84 GMC with the Thunder AVS carb and a solid fuel line from Edelbrock. I have the Edelbrock fuel pump on the side of the motor feeding up to the billet fuel filter that is on the Edelbrock solid feed line. The fuel line is summit's braided line with AN fittings on it for finish. I decided a while back that I was done with fuel line hose clamps. From now on I will use finished fittings.
