Thanks to all of you, I bent my fuel line - and it looks pretty good!
Driver's side w/Durex fuel filter.
Passenger's side. Difficult to see where the line bends to go down. I kicked it out a little to give some more distance from the heater and radiator hoses.
The vac advance line is from InLine Tube via Chev's of the 40's. I am returning the pump to carb fuel line that I bought because it wasn't bent correctly. That's why I started this thread asking for advice.
Line clips from Shafer's Classic Reproductions, Tampa - via Eckler's.
I bought the HF #3755 tube bender and #66534 double flare tool. About $20 for both with coupons. Took three pieces of 40" NAPA tube stock to get it right - steel colored, not green.
"Grandpas Truck" thanks for the videos.
Joe - You convinced me. I used flared fittings at all unions. And thanks for suggesting that I start at the carb. For some reason, I had planned to start at the pump.
No fuel in the filter because I haven't started it yet ... The carb did not have an insulator, so I added one. Looks like a previous owner cut off the tip of the throttle carb rod and welded on a
threaded piece to compensate for the lower height of the carb without the insulator. So now, the rod is too short. Can't start it until I fix it. Guess I'll have longer threaded rod welded to it. Eventually try to find the
correct rod.Thanks again for your guidance.
