fuel line replacement...

[tahoward]

Just found a leak while warming the car up. Thank goodness I found it!!! Going to replace all the fuel lines, so obviously I need your help! Its got carbs and looks fairly straight forward, so I'm sure theres more to it. Any pitfalls, concerns or other common sense things that I'm not going to think of before its too late and the car ends up on blocks for the forseeable future? As always thanks for all your help!

Fuel line replacement seems to be a popular subject, so I might suggest reading through some of the past posts (search on fuel line, fuel hose, etc.). If you’re doing a full tank to carb replacement you’ll find some very useful tips and opinions, of which there are plenty. Since you have carbs your job will be much easier vs. replacing fuel line for FI.

Also, make sure you at least read through the tech article “Replacing 914 Gas Lines in the Center Tunnel“ at
http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/914_gas_lines/914_replace_gas_lines.htm.

I guess I won’t rehash what’s already been said, but I’m sure if you had specific questions the folks here would be happy to answer them; including myself.

Thanks for the heads up on the article! It appears it is more complicated than I thought to do it once and forget about it. Up on blocks we go again. I guess while I'm in the tunnel I'll do the clutch cable too since with my luck...
