Pump to carb L-T1, fuel lines, repo ok???
 
Howdy, a question for the Deuce guys, I need a pump to Holley fuel line set and have purchased some repo stuff lately and to be honest have been very disappointed with the stuff these people are passing off as GM repo parts, Where are you guys getting your lines? They donít need to be concourse perfect just bolt up and not leak; I am not going for a pointís car just a respectable driver,

Thnx for any info, Bud.

Why not get a tubing bender and bend one up out of straight stock, available at NAPA.

Bud,
I got my Nova's fuel lines from NNN. I thought they worked great and fit too. Mine was BB though. Here's their web site.

I have purchased from both Fine Lines and The Right Stuff.Never had any problems with either......Fine Lines even custom bent for a modified application.I have used steel for fuel lines,looks right,seals right. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I have used The Right Stuff for my Deuce, I have not had any problems with fit or leaks. The short lines from the brass 'Y' block to the carb inlets are a little tight, but nothing to write home about. I have heard good things about Inline Tube as well.

I hear some people have trouble with stainless steel lines leaking. The theory is that the SS is harder and does not seal as well as the softer steel line in the compression fittings. Other people say no problems with SS line leaking.

Stainless is a pain....very tough to seal....even with correct tools its very tough.

I bought my lines from a Corvette supply house, I think in the Oregon area. Fit perfect. Their's had the correct double bend at the fuel pump and the gentle bend that snakes around the water pump correctly.
