Gerry at Packards Southwest had one of these hard to find items and it's on the way to me!

Thanks Gerry!

Begone foul breast!

I exercised the old fuel line and pump from the car.




It was a conglomerate of a little bit of copper hard line and mostly rubber rubber all far on the inside of the framerail. The fuel pump was mounted mid-ship between the muffler and the framerail.

Not it's all brand new hardline front to back except for a 12" piece of fuel hose between the framerail bulkhead fitting and the fuelrail for the carbs. And a couple of small 4" pieces where the fuel pump was plumbed inline back my the tank. The line is now ran exactly in the same routing that the factory line would have been. Down the outside of the framerail and using the clips along the runningboard supports and rail where needed.

Now sure it it's just me, but it appears to run better after doing that.

Probably does, the fuel would flow smoother/easier and get to the motor cooler too. Well done!
