New Fuel pump to carb line wrong from Classic Industries

[CKfan]

Inline Tube has/had the same issue with their 1969 - 292 K10 carb to fuel pump line.

They sold me one they claim is off an original pattern but it did not fit (over 6 inches short). Drops down right over the 292 motor mount which lead me to believe it is for a 230 or 250 since that is where the pump is on those motors (not on the 292). They disagreed with my assertion. Their line did fit great from the carb to the distributor though.

Picture 1 and 2 is where their line was supposed to fit to pump. 3rd is my original (had rust pitting, reason for wanting new one). 4th is their line to carb which was actually a cleaner fit (shape) than my original.

After some back and fourth with Inline Tube, they requested I send my original to them so they could make me a new one and they will now have the pattern (sent pictures and VIN, model etc.)

The only way to solve these problems is to make sure the vendors have the right patterns. Although it is costly to us (in my case, $60 to ship to them), the pattern will now be on file so the next guy gets the right one. Luckily, Inline Tube is willing to do this for the customers and for the hobby,.

Only negative in this experience for me was the fact I ordered what Inline claimed to be a direct fit piece and wasn't. I had to pay to return theirs and mine whilst they get a free pattern.
