I was jumping my roommates car today and i noticed that the carb was leaking gas from where i have my rubber hose (due to a crappy hose clamp. So when i swapped out the clamp i noticed that the end going into the carb seemed to be leaking a little bit too. So i tightened it some and then I really noticed a problem... the fuel line was turning easier than before ><. I went online to go buy a new from carb to fuel pump line and noticed there are at least 2 different kinds. Does anyone know what line to buy for my engine?

I love using the Right detail company, as i used them for my brake system and they lined up 99% perfectly. My fuel pump is one of those 3 outlet ones and it goes to a 455.

I know there is BB and SB versions. And, different routings also.

And the ones from the Nameless vendor did not fit right.

Can you make do with a used one?

Yes i could but would prefer to do new due to the stainless line

You should stay away from rubber hoses between the fuel pump and the carb. Use metal tubing to avoid catching your car on fire because a rubber hose split or melted.

Some of the fuel pumps used a 45 or 90 degree brass fitting and the fuel to carb line is bent. Either for a 180 90 or 45 degree...i think i bought mine years back from fusicks with for my 45 degree fitting i can check.....i still had to bend it a little i think

And i know from you most likely its an NOS one lol. Let me know how much you want for it, along with that hood you got in the garage .

LOL, No the fuel line is from inline tube; just never used it, and for that hood, still have it. Are you going to make it to the Gulf Coast Oldsmobile show?

sicky olds

when and where is that lol.

Better hope its not leaking from the carb inlet?

I am hoping that it is also just the line being old and not lining up like it should.

But if not I do have THEE best q-jet expert right here in San Antonio that can help me out with the problem if this doesnt work.

Sicky, give Danny a call. If your carb is leaking from the inlet, then, it can be helicoiled with a stainless steel insert. If you need that line just let me know.
