    what size fuel line should I use..I'm considering dual carbs..original line looks like 1/4"
    going to be using stock mechanical fuel pump..not sure if 1/4" will be sufficiant

    That's probably fine unless you plan on performance upgrades. I plumb 3/8th's (-6AN) on everything. BTW, your garage is disturbingly clean. Makes the rest of us feel bad. :cool:

    I always go 3/8" just in case I decide to change to a bigger engine in the future.

    I am a in the middle man , 5/16 every time on vintage engines from tank to carbs. 1/4” possibly on short lengths like fuel block to carbs , but again I have never used 1/4”
