That looks real good and my only regret was that I had the whole fuel line replaced with proper plastic replacement about 7 years ago. The car hasn't been on the road since then as I'm still not finished with the restoration!
My next car WILL have the SS lines! However, I need to ask you about that fuel pump location, I understand you're not done but are you planning to secure that to the (dashboard) bulkhead as noted on the picture? Would the humming pump noise transfer into the compartment? The 75-76 models has their pump mounted on the inside chamber of the "front trunk" bulkhead (not the "dashboard" bulkhead as your picture indicated) to eliminate the vapor lock issues and I wondered the factory also put in that area to eliminate the possible noise if it had been mounted "dashboard" bulkhead? I dunno as I'm deaf as hell so I wouldn't care but for you others? I do know I could hear (and feel thru the floorplan) when the old electric fuel pumps on all 4 cam Spyders were kicked on, boy, they're loud (and sweeet!). so fill me in more on where you're going with the pump location.... j |
