I've got one fuel line to install (carbs) and the engine is out. I had no luck getting the new line in further than 8 -12"
I can't imagine doing this with the engine in without bending the f*ck out of the new line.... |

The first one did I tied a string to the plastic lines and pulled it through the tunnel when I removed the OE lines. . You might try getting a wire through the car end to end first and then slide the new tubing over it, using it as a guide.
Pull the tunnel cover at the rear and the shifter in the middle for visual. . As it remember there are tabs that hold the plastic lines in place and the mid bulkhead that you have to navigate around and through. . . |
