Question Help! What pump to carb line do I need?

I am looking at buying an exhaust kit from Summit so, while I am there....

Winter plans have me exchanging my 12+year old un-touched holley with a 1970 BBO 4bbl Quadrajet (a 251). I have a 1976 350sbo with a single line in and single line out fuel pump. What solid fuel line should I need to connect this pump to the 1970 BBO quadrajet. I have a edelbrock performer intake aswell. Summit listings are confusing me.

I will need a new fuel line since the Quadrajet and Holley have differently positioned inlets. It will also make me happy to replace my copper line and rubber fuel line that is on the car now.

While I am at it, what could you recommend for the carb to intake gasket/insulator. What thickness is good. I should have plenty of clearance.

woooooo hoooooo Winter project time! Exhaust kit, carb and full interior. Sounds like fun.

Any help is much appreciated.


Adam

Replacement stock steel lines are available from numerous sources.
Since a little 'tweeking' is usually required, I start with the pump, so you can see what you're doing at the carb.
And I like to use the 3/8 stock spacer, as I've never had a problem with it!
