Fuel Line Help

[Shorty62]

Is it possible to replace the rubber flexible fuel lines (swagged on) that go from the fuel filter to the fuel racks. Mine are weeping bad through old age and I'm not willing to run it now for fear of the engine lighting up. Is there an easy way to do this as I can't seem to be able to get the line our after undoing all the clamps as the metal parts of the fuel line won't flex enough or do I have to take an inlet manifold off?

You'll need to do some more reading on this forum as to how others have replaced the flexible fuel lines without taking the engine out or removing the intake.
I did it on my '88. If you're talking about replacing the metal/ rubber line that goes under the intake, you'll need to cut the metal line to get it out if you're not removing the intake. The replacement line has no metal component... it's all flex line which allows you to snake it under the intake.
I had mine built by Len Cummins (aka BoxsterGT). If one is leaking, be sure to replace all three as the threat of fire is very real once these let go.
If you're going to go with the original style metal line, you'll need to remove the intake which will also give you the opportunity to replace the intake gaskets.
