I have a carb'd 74 2.0, is copper tubing an acceptable material to replace the fuel lines in the tunnel?

I wouldn't, the biggest fear I would have is if the copper line is just sitting in the tunnel, it's likely sitting in rust dust. Steel and copper doesn't get along together. If was totally suspended with copper or plastic covered hanger/clamps with proper grommets it might be OK... But why would you do that?
Original or SS lines is all I'd trust . SS kits often have a return line, but you only need one line for carb, so if you don't see one just ask for a single line. |
