fuel line

Would anyone have an idea where I could get the original fuel line from the pump to the carb?

Year?
Model?
Engine?
Carb?

You'll need to provide that info when you talk to one of the repro tubing vendors like Inline or Right Stuff or Classic Tube.

Yeah, my bad. It is a '72 455 with original Q-Jet carb. Oh and FYI, it is not in an Oldsmobile vehicle......its in a S10.

Assuming you have an original (or equivalent) fuel pump, the line from a 1972 442/Cutlass with 455 will work. Be aware that many aftermarket fuel pumps have the outlet port at a different angle that stock, which may cause a problem using a pre-bent line. These lines are not that expensive from the usual tube vendors.
