I need to replace the fuel line between the fuel pump and carb. Is aluminum line with compression fittings acceptable?

Thanks

I would check to see what length you need and see if the local parts store has a steel line near that length. Then bend your own. I have never been a big fan of compression fittings. The lines from the parts store will have double flared fittings on it already.

Steel line with double flare fittings would be better, and is what was used OEM.
