spewing fuel Options

[solo1]

Driving the car sunday morning, smelling fuel, thought it was the Harley riding in front paid no mind till i had to get gas and the engine bay has fuel sprayed all over it. got to house and fuel is dripping/running onto the floor. engine shuts off flow stops, so at least the fuel pump is working just fine. Clearly there is a leak somewhere where to start looking?

Yep, that's scary!
I had a similar thing happen to my 70 back in about 76. I was headed up the road in San Diego to Poway and had the top off. Kept feeling little specks of wetness hitting my arm. Looked up, not a cloud in the sky. Smelled my arm, oh _hit, gas smell. Pulled over, gas was spraying from a split in the rubber gas hose. Had some tape and wrapped it several times. Started it up, no leak. Whew! By this time the gas in the engine bay had evaporated, so off to home. Bought some new fuel hose and replaced all of it.
I think you just need 12-15 feet of the correct high pressure fuel hose ( see post #2) and remove one at a time and cut to match the piece you remove and replace. Make sure to use only the solid type hose clamps. Also make sure the short injector hoses are good and replace them if possible. On my 76, I was able to remove the injector rubber lines and replaced them at the same time. I have heard some injectors are harder to do this, but I haven't seen them myself.
