Gonna change my fuel line from the tank, any tips or things I should know before I attempt this?

 

Sure....No smoking

Its simple just a short piece of hose and clamps. Easier to get the old one off the barbs with a razor or knife.

 

Use seamless stainless steel tubing.

 

When I changed out the fuel lines on my '68, we found the space between the frame and the body back where the frame humps up over the rear axle to be real tight. So tight, in fact, that we loosened the body bolts and raised the body a couple of inches off the frame in the back so we could feed the fuel lines through the opening between the body and the frame at the passenger rear wheel opening, feed them forward, do a little bending to get the back part of the lines in and placed properly at the fuel tank, and fasten the new lines to the frame on the upper midd-forward part of the frame hump. Otherwise, we would have had to cut the lines and we didn't want to do that.

If the body is not on your frame, it's a lot easier!

Om 70-72 cars, there is a clamp on top of the frame where it goes over the axle.

No way to get it off without raising the body.

 

Ooooo....You are talking about the hard line to the front of the car? Near impossible with the body on the car.

 

Clueless, I see a big MAW heading your way.
About the size of an asteroid...

 

Maw? Thanks for the feedback.

 

MAW = Might as Well. When you pull off the body you might as well call it a frame off resto!

Is your hard line showing signs of leaking or severe rust?
