If this is in the wrong place, sorry.
I installed they're fuel lines last night and I must say it is a great product. It beats the hell out of trying to get the right bend on some brake lines. Plus they are stainless. They went right in according to directions and the bends are perfect. I had my motor out already but I could see doing it with the engine in place no problem. They are a bit $pendy, but if you were bending them yourself from brake tubing I could see spending a ton of time to get them right. Also whats your car worth after all the time and money you put into it. a 150 bucks is not alot of money if its burning on the side of the road.... I think the engine compartment lines could be a bit longer to reach down around the corner of the hell hole but overall I give them an A+ Thanks and I will now drive without worrying about the plastic fuel lines. |

I think the engine compartment lines could be a bit longer to reach down around the corner of the hell hole but overall I give them an A+ Thanks and I will now drive without worrying about the plastic fuel lines. I also installed my Chris Foley Tangerine Racing Stainless Steel Fuel Lines last week, after much work trying to identify the original 1975 high Pressure Fuel Injection lines that were runnning through the tunnel. I decided to yank them out and replace them, after inspection of the lines, they were indeed in excellent condition. (The old ones held up better than I ever could have imagined). I believe this was because the 1975 models had the fuel pump under the gas tank thus the lines needed to be able to handle the fuel injection pressure and were thicker or more substantial. I do not know that these lines were any thicker/different than the lines that ran through from 70-74 but the Capt. or others could probably weigh in on that. Anywho...I installed the stainless steel fuel lines by myself, was it easy no, two people would make it very easy just like the instructions call for, back and forth a couple hundred times....but once I got them in they fit perfectly. I have much better piece of mind knowing that every piece of fuel line has been replaced as well as all the lines under the gas tank and in the engine bay. In my case piece of mind cost about $225.00, but I won't be second guessing any old pieces of fuel line or connections. The Chris Foley Lines are very nice, the key for me was unbolting the shifter, I did not at first and could not get at the tabs that hold the lines in place. Vysoc |
