Re: Need a picture of fuel line routing

The original line was 5/16 steel tubing held in place by special clips along the left outside frame rail. Many now recommend using the copper-nickel or Cupronickel line since it bends and flares much easier. At the gas tank end it has an inverted flare nut threaded into the fitting on the tank. At the engine end, the tube angles up and stops just short of the fuel pump. Another fitting threads into a short length of hose which completes the run to the pump. Here is an illustration from the parts manual showing the general route and how it gets to the tank.
For the side run, Ross posted a photo illustrating another subject HERE. The photos also happen to show most of the gas line and how it makes the transition to top of frame very nicely. It appears that car might have used one or more shorter lengths of tubing available from the parts store to make the line.
The short turn up into the pump isn't illustrated well on either illustration or photo but perhaps someone else has a good view of that.
