I switched from the original Rochester carb to a Carter YF when I rebuilt the motor. I'm trying to keep the factory look, so I'll be going with metal lines. I can buy the line from the pump to carb, but it would be bent and sized to go into the front of the old Rochester carb. Can I just buy steel fuel line in bulk, and are the fittings just a single bend flare?
I figure I could make the bends with a tubing bender. | | |

I buy what ever length in steel brake line (8'' - 51'')(3/16'' - 1/2''dia) and cut the end @ the carb end and use a hose to the carb. My fuel pump has a 5/16'' double flare fitting already.
Remember to place a good inline filter under the truck. I believe it's better there b4 the pump and easy to change, than around the engine where if the hose leaked could cause a fire. Don't use a glass one.
use a double flare fit.

It costs cabout 14.00;I know that's a lot of money for a fuel filter,but this is a big filter.I figure to bolt it to the frame where the fuel line makes the turn to go from the tank to the fuel pump.I don't remember the part number of this filter,but when I get it,if you're interested I'll post it. just the thing for these old 'bolts with half a tank of mud.
