IN WTB f as story 3/8 fuel line - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**70STOVEBOLT** · 08-17-2022, 09:23 PM

From in-cab tank through floor. Installing EFI and want to use stock lines if possible for cleaner appearance. Shipping would be to 46562.

Not sure still have them but will check in the parts stash. Lines from a 71 with a 350 V8 engine. Will get back to you later today.

**70STOVEBOLT** · 08-18-2022, 08:27 AM

Thanks Gary.

**Ironhorse** · 08-18-2022, 12:07 PM

Mark, sorry but the line I have from the 71 I parted is the EEC vent line that runs up the corner pillar in the rear of the cab. I do have the in cab 3/8'' line from a 70 3/4t but.....looks as if has been modified at both ends. No flare nut fittings at either end, rubber hose and double screw clamps at both ends. Sorry, not much help here I know but that's best I can do.

**70STOVEBOLT** · 08-18-2022, 12:50 PM

Gary, can you post a pic of the line from the 70? I will probably have to modify it anyway, as I am going to be using it as a return line. Holley specifies that the return line be 3/8 instead of 5/16 on the Sniper.

Thanks,
Mark

Mark, pic of the in-cab line that runs thru the floor from the '70 I have. Measures just right at 24 inches in length, the beaded end is the lower going to the carb, the short upper end leading to the tank is the one that has been modified. Looks like was cut with a tubing cutter, clean cut but not sure how much of the original line was cut off? If you can use it, it is yours for the shipping $$. The rubber floor grommet was rock hard and did not survive the removal process,

Gary, if the 24" is not including the length after the bends, I will take it.

Thanks,
Mark

**Ironhorse** · 08-18-2022, 03:13 PM

Sorry I wasn't really clear Mark, the 24'' is the TOTAL length of the line from the cut end to the factory beaded end. Before I removed the line from the tank which I sold some time ago there was a maybe 4'' length of rubber hose with the double screw clamps being used.

**70STOVEBOLT** · 08-18-2022, 03:22 PM

I will take some measurements tonight and get back to you. Thanks again.

**70STOVEBOLT** · 08-18-2022, 04:23 PM

Gary, I will take the line, PM sent

**Ironhorse** · 08-19-2022, 01:18 PM

Gary, I received the line today. I will test fit it tonight after work and let you know if it works for me. Regardless, thank you again for your generosity, and I will pay it forward when I can.

Thanks,
Mark

Good luck with the fuel line Mark, glad I could help out. Hope it all goes as planned.
