fuel lines
Picked up my 73.5 t wed. from the shipper and found a small leak this weekend. Gave it a little tighten and it was fine for the day, had to tighten again on sunday. Should I replace? Are these specific lines (where can I order) or can I use any run of the mill.
Here is a pic of what I'm talking about. Thanks David

can't tell from the pic where the source is..is it the fitting itself leaking or just rot in the hose end? perhaps if it's the latter you could cut the worn portion?

It looks kind of like the fitting, like Ryan says. If it were me, go ahead and replace the lines. I used the cloth braided lines sold here (pricey compared to the rubber auto store type, but it sure looks good!) I'm scared of fuel leaks and my lines were original.

If you are looking at it from left to right it is the third line in. If I cut the worn section and secure it do I need shut off fuel or just do it quickly and put it back together. Sorry the pic isn't that clear. I have another but can't seem to upload it in the edit page.

lusso,
i'd say as long as the car is cold, it shouldn't be holding much fuel pressure and you could probably loosen, cut with an exacto knife and reattach (have a mason jar or something for fuel just in case..you KNOW some is gonna leak out!) as far as normal temps, on a 95 degree day in my '74 cis car (which i'm assuming yours is a late '73 with cis), moving along at 70 mph sustained - with no aux oil cooler either - i see about 220 with a/c turned on. ryan

Ryan thanks,
It is a CIS 73.5 I don't want to do the front mount $$ I like the look of the steel s bumper. Thanks for the info. I know I will have a ton more questions. It is my first so I'm a little unfamiliar but trying to learn as fast as I can.
