I see a few companies are selling new stainless steel fuel lines, new fuel lines on our 50 years old cars is generally not a bad idea, but how about if they appear to be in good condition? The feed line on our car is about 10mm OD with a 1mm wall. While we are in there should they be replaced for good measure.

The 75-76 cars had a completely different material and are less prone to failure. With that being said my 75 lines were good through tunnel BUT brittle from the firewall turn to engine shelf. The fuel pressure is 28-30 lbs and you are correct, there is a chance of failure.
