Hard Line from fuel pump to carb

[Scott91370]

I have an engine in my shop with the below hard line from pump to carb but it's not mine (daughter's boyfriend) so I can't just repurpose it.
Anybody know a part number? I've seen a few but not for sure they're the correct part.
It follows the engine perfectly and it'd be really nice to have - I currently have rubber line there but don't like using that where it is located.

I made one out of nickel-copper line and it's been great. Can bend it by hand to whereever you need it without being gentle like you need to with aluminum.

I just grab steel line from the parts store and bend my own,sorry I can't be more help than that.

LMC Truck has them, depending on year and size carb. Standard line that is pretty common between years. 81-87 used a different bend that routed them differently than the 73-80 model years on the sbc. Here's a link that'll help out if you plan on going a different route other than bending your own.

Just scroll down to Pumps and Vacuum line section and you'll see them.

LMC or Inline tube. Or make your own.

if making out of bulk will need a good tubing bender or the line will kink. They do make 90 degree fittings to replace the straight one on the carb. That will eliminate one tight bend.

Just tell the kid that you want the fuel line.

If any one of my girlfriends dads asked me for a fuel line off of an engine that I had sitting in his garage, I would be happy to donate it to his rig.

He'd probably give it to me but then he wouldn't have one for his vehicle.


Thanks for the input everyone! I do have access to a tubing bender so if I can find a fitting maybe I'll just make my own - well, have a friend make it for me.

Just make it...

Using the nickel-copper line is real easy to make all sorts of complex shapes from. Since you have an engine sitting out and accessible, it shouldn't be fairly simple to replicate since you have an example to work from. Just make sure you put the ends on before you start bending (I've ruined a pretty good amount of line forgetting that part).

The parts store lines are preterminated with proper ends on them and sold by length. Bend a pattern out of a coat hanger straighten the coat hanger and buy a line a little long,a little long you can work with by exaggerating your bends a little short won't work.

Always just made my own out of the line from the part store or AN fittings and PTFE hose depending on the application.

Installed this recently on my 78 Blazer. Perfect fit.
