Fuel pump to carb fuel line routing 69 442
Fuel pump to carb fuel line routing 69 442
Hello everyone,
I'm installing the new pump to carb fuel line I purchased from Fusick's and things aren't lining up quite right. Everything is original equipment, the pump, the carb and the intake manifold. The Chassis Service Manual illustration calls for the brass fitting on the pump outlet to be pointing straight up on 400 and 455 engines. If I orient it that way, the fuel line isn't lining up with the fitting. I don't have a problem changing the angle of one of the bends in the fuel line to make it fit, but I want it to follow the original factory design as closely as possible. Does anyone with a stock 69 442 or Hurst Olds have a picture of the carb fuel line position? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, 442operator.
Looks like mine is following the same path. The problem with mine was it went above the lines coming out of the vacuum tree on the intake manifold. I was able to change the alignment of the 90 degree bend outboard of the vacuum tree so it could sit lower without hitting the intake manifold. Once I did that, it runs BELOW the lines coming out of the vacuum tree and everything else pretty much fell into place at that point.
Thanks again for your help.
