The easy pathway looks to be from fuel pump up the front of the block behind the alternator across the top of the intake and into the carb. I have a 1977 chevy stepside with a 350. will running the fuel lines that close to the block and the intake cause heat issues for the fuel lines? maybe vapor lock? whats the vote on metal vs rubber fuel lines. I have a 350 with edelbrock proformer intake and edelbrock 4bbl 650 carb, any suggestions on a good fuel filter?

The standard Performer carb is single feed. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 408 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 408 | i have the thunder series and you can run it single or dual, any advantage to running dual vs single | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 576 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 576 | i bought a fuel line kit from edelbrock..hard line from carb to a filter to braided steel with an fittings to the pump did have to find a adapter for the an fitting at the pump....i like it i think its a nice set up.. this here ...dave
