1950 gas line?

does anyone know where I can buy a new steel gas line from the tank to fuel pump for my 50 olds 88 ? I have not found anything online, and how difficult is it on this year? also what is the best way to prime the carb on a original 303 rocket? thanks, any help is appreciated.

I doubt anybody makes the fuel lines simply because there is not enough demand. What you may have to do is use steel brake lines and a tubing bender. You will probably have to couple a few pieces together. That is a strange carb on the 50. I have shot starting fluid in it with the air cleaner off (be sure you have a fire extinguisher handy). I guess you could use something like a turkey baster and squirt it in the carb.
