contemplating fuel line replacement...
I'm debating replacing all the fuel lines on my '86 carrera. I've owned it for a year - but records show these have never been touched? No leaks of fuel smells.
this a good idea or overkill? Also any links to write ups greatly appreciated. tia -jamie |

IMO, overkill. You'll find other stuff to replace "while you're in there," and thus you will discover "the slippery slope." You will probably cause leaks that you don't currently have. If the lines are in good condition, not cracked, not frayed (if fabric covered), then leave them alone. Only replace those that need it based on condition.

It's somewhat of a pain, I've done it two times solo, once with hardline tunnel lines. I did it with the engine in, but you need to be able to remove the transmission mount to get full access. I found I need to rotate the line at points to get the tunnel lines in smoothly.
