Carb. Inlet Line

I am trying to find an inlet fuel line for my 2 bbl (line from pump to carb) but I can't find any companies that carry them. Motor was a '68 307, now an '86 305. Anyone have any suggestions??

Re: Carb. Inlet Line

bend it your self. i bought a 4 foot line at autozone and went at it. had to cut one end and use my double end flaring kit. i would have rather had regular steel color but this won't rust
i would be happy to take a picture of my tubing bender if you would like

Re: Carb. Inlet Line

Please do, and thank you very much in advance. That looks exactly like the original! You did an awesome job with it. Also, can the threaded ends be found at the hardware store?

It should come with the line, but if its not the same threads then they usually carry them in the back. sometimes hard to find. but the threads are very fine is all i can say and usually fit a 5/8 wrench.---Andy

Re: Carb. Inlet Line

Thanks again for taking time out do that. I'll have to get one of those and start bending. The one I have is junk and kept kinking the line. Although, there quite possibly could have been a short between the floor and the bender!
