What carb do you have?

I am going to be building a new fuel line for my 66 in the next couple of days.  I will get some pics.  It is on a dual line Holley.

Heres what I did.   On my Galaxie.  Its a 289 with an Edelbrock.   I ran it from the fuel pump up diagnally under the power steering pump and a/c unit 45 degrees, accross the recess in the timing cover where it is one support clamp, under the water neck, a 90 where the coil will be, another 90 at the valve cover, over to the area where there is a flare fitting into the carb.     I had to put a slight indention with a ball peen hammer to make clearance for the fitting, as its a lowered base air cleaner.   Hence, the reminder written inside the air cleaner for future generations.

Those invisible fuel lines are alot easier to install than the steel ones!  Here is a picture of the line I built for Ernest's 289.  It goes under the ac compressor bracket before coming to the top.  The secret to running a good line on an Edelbrock carb is to use the banjo fitting at the carb inlet rather than the stock fitting.  Point the banjo straight down and run the steel line vertical to it until it almost touches it.  Then use a 2" long rubber hose with two clamps to connect the tubing to the banjo.

Thanks for the advice.  I think its time to give it a shot!  

Once the AC compressor is installed, most of it is hidden.
