Hello,
I would like to replace the pump to carb hard line on my '65 Cutlass with a 330 and a four barrel carb. Every part supplier I've looked at including Fusick doesn't list a line for a '65, only '66 and on. Would a line for a '66 with a 330 work? Thanks in advance.

I don't think so, as I recall the 64 used a Rochester 4GC carburetor and the 66 was the first year of the Rochester Quadrajet.

Do you know what carburetor you currently have?

If you have the old line you should be able to reproduce it using it as a template. Steel line can be hard to bend on very short/tight bends, NiCop is a lot easier to bend.

 

Jeff - Didn't Carter make many of the carburetors in 1965, as well?

 

I'm not sure about the '65 Carter builds. I've definitely seen and worked on Carter built Quadrajet models.

 

I think maybe you're correct. I think '68 was the big year GM asked Carter to supply Quadrajet carburetors replacing "Quadrajet by Rochester” w/ “Quadrajet by Carter” instead. I do think they were identical.

 

Rochester 4gc. Really my issue is the nut to the fuel filter etc is rounded off. Maybe I'll get the file out and try to salvage the current unit. Thanks fellas...

 

... 1966 was first year of the Rochester Quadrajet on an Oldsmobile manifold I believe? I think the first year (1965) of the Rochester Quadrajet was only in the Chevrolet division.

The 66 wont work as it's a quadrajet and not a 4GC

There's most likely some difference between the 400 & the 330 fuel pump>carburetor line but I would not know what, if any difference - perhaps they were same? At any rate, here's one for a 1965 400cid.

Peter - You slid in front me.

Ugh...I'm slow today.

 

The BBO is about one inch taller than the SBO from pan rail to carb flange. The 400 line won't work on a 330.
