Owen, Thanks. I have been considering those gland fittings as well as I really don't like to use rubber hoses in gaslines except at the frame to fuel pump section . I am going to get into the garage this afternoon and see just how big a job this is going to be. I have a feeling that it is something I should maybe have never started. I am also wondering why Packard brought the gas line up from the drivers side and across and under the engine when it would seem to be that the passenger side would have been an easier route. The outlet for the gas tank is on the drivers side also but surely that could have been fabricated with the outlet on the passenger side. I may bring the gas line across from the drivers side behind the tank and then up to the fuel pump from the passenger side and avoid this under the engine run. It wouldn't be factory but it may be that I won't be able to replicate the factory install without removing the engine in any event and that's not a choice I want to consider. I will let you know how it goes.
