Hi,
My improvised fuel line is not going to hold up after the 2bbl 5200 carburetor upgrade. In this picture you can see how I used rubber hosing to extend the fuel line. I cannot clamp the hoses tight enough to make a leak free seal so I must replace the entire fuel line now. This way I can route the line straight to the carburetor and not follow the route of the old 1bbl carburetor setup. What size and type of fuel line do I need for my 1968 200ci I6? Do I need a specific tool to bend the lines? Would the fuel line go directly into the carburetor or do I need a special connection?
I guess I should get a new fuel filter as well. Can anyone recommend a good fuel filter?
Thanks,
Justin
P.S.
I am still waiting for the new spark plug wires but I have started the engine with the old wires. The engine fires right up and idles smoother. I could not be happier...unless my wires arrive soon. :roll:
