3.2 fuel line replacement

Is there a way to change the cross over line that runs between fuel regs with out dropping engine?

Thanks Bill

there is a guy on this site that makes a fuel line that you can use and do not have to remove the manifold.
His name is Boxtser I think. Others will chime in

I'm doing it now. You do not have to remove the manifold.

One the drivers side I removed the heater fan. On the passenger side I removed the air cleaner. It's pain to get to but not that bad. The challenge I am working on now is getting a good seal on the side easiest to reach (passenger side). I think it's an issue getting the fitting to seat due to the angle.

Len Cummings (and probably others) make the fuel line.

This is what I did years ago. Be careful you don't knock out the vacuum lines running to and from the fuel regulators. You may also want to jack the rear of your car a bit to save your back. Ergonomics.

If you have a bit of time you can get a cheap inspection camera that plugs into your phone off amazon or ebay. Might come in handy for this.
