Have OE flexible lines removed. Engine still in car, gas tank out.
Does it matter which fuel line goes where? They all have slightly different bends so I would guess that it matters at least a little bit. I mean I know that the long ones go through the tunnel and the short ones into the engine compartment (duh), but not sure otherwise. My kit from Tangerine did not have instructions, so looking for any help. |

I have the long lines and the engine bay lines installed. Also new grommets in firewall and engine bay floor. Might not be exactly correct, but better/safer than the 42 year old OE lines. Still have a few lines on the engine to replace, but will wait until engine comes out this winter.
That OE fuel pump (above) will live the rest of its life right where it is. I cannot get a ratchet or a wrench on the bolts that hold the clamp in place. I have a new pump and am relocating to the front. I do run heat in the car, so these lines will live above the heater hose from flapper to body. Engine bay lines were tricky, not much room to work, but they are in and protected from any rubbing/chafing due to vibration. I need to sort out getting power to the pump up front, still looking for a pump bracket, then can re-install tank and drive... |
