    I'm a bit OCD, sorry. I'm torn on how to route my steel fuel line on my sbc. I want it to be smooth and subtle and as simple as possible. Any and all pics and ideas are much appreciated. I prefer to see mechanical pump to single carb but multi carb is cool too. This is the mock up that I have so far, its small line for mock up, I'll be using 3/8".

  2. looks good to me i like to run my lines away from being trapped in heated areas and from making other jobs harder like removing valve covers ect

    dont understand the old early 50's fuel filter though

    I put my filter farther forward so that i could service it and take the valve cover off independently.

    Less is more. Place the inline filter before the pump and tighten up the line to the front and valley.
