Pics of fuel lines - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Could someone please post pics of clean looking fuel lines from the fuel pump to the carb? I have a BB 396 and I can't get the line from the pump to the Holley carb without going around the radiator hose that connects to the water pump. It works, but doesn't look too good the way it's sticking out. Thanks.

These are some pics off of my old motor, not exactly what you looking for, I'll try to get some pics from the pump on my new motor later on today.

I have an electric and the main line comes up the back to the regulator. Nice and clean, hope it helps

The ones I used to have were bent to go between the lower hose and the block. If you use a good tubing bender you can make a tight enough bend. I don't have any pics, but I sold the lines I had to Bill72BB. One was for a q-jet and the other was for an Edelbrock. Maybe he could post up a pic for you.

rophle1 · 03-06-2007, 10:09 AM

That's what I would like to do, but I'm not sure I could bend the tube this sharp without it crimping. May be a dumb question, but is there a 90 degree fitting that will attach to the fuel pump so I can run the line straight up?

ya'll gotta quit those pics....makes my poor little 307 and two barrel with the little 5/16" line and see through fuel filter look bad

j/k those setups look clean...just wish they ....well the whole package was sitting in the front of my truck.

Can't really help with the fuel lines ... but wanted to say War Eagle!

rophle1 · 03-06-2007, 12:53 PM

War Eagle

KFreddy · 03-06-2007, 07:24 PM

Here are two more pics off the new motor...

rophle1 · 03-07-2007, 10:10 AM

Thanks for the pics.

My problem is the outlet from the fuel pump is pointing more towards the front and my lower radiator hose doesn't curve forwards like it appears yours does. So I have to go under and around it making the fuel line stick out too far and look kinda stupid. No offense if someone on here has there's set up this way; if you could see how bad it looks on mine, you'd understand.

If there's a fitting that can come out of the pump and turn up 90 degrees I think it'll fit, I just haven't had a chance to look for one. Can someone tell me if they even exist?

Thanks!

What no love for the glass filter?! I dig mine because when trouble shooting like last night, I can see the fuel, brilliant! Beer in a bottle, brilliant!

I might need to cut back on the caffeine...

Thanks Fred, that's exactly what I need.

bad72c10 · 03-07-2007, 05:55 PM

Careful there rophle1, that says that it's for 1/2" line, it may not be, but that's what the description says, and I don't think you're running 1/2" line, maybe you are, lol, again, I'M not sure. Justin

corn · 03-07-2007, 08:33 PM

Mines pretty boring. Elbow off the pump, 2" hose then the filter. Then fuel hose up to the carb. Like I said, boring...

rophle1 · 03-08-2007, 10:17 AM

Thanks for the heads up, Justin.

Corn, engines are never boring. I get a smile on my face even when I'm working on my lawn mower engine.

bad72c10 · 03-08-2007, 03:40 PM

Hey no problem, I know I stretched 5/16 line onto a 3/8 fuel filter to siphon fuel out of my tank, and filter the rust out, but I didn't think you'd want to stretch your 3/8 to a 1/2 or even your 5/16, yikes,

. Justin

*Edit: Here's a link to what I think you need, it's a 3/8 to 3/8, unless you are running 1/2 with the big block. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

rophle1 · 03-08-2007, 04:04 PM

Thanks for the link. I'll be ordering one soon (the right size of course).
