    Hey all, looking for some examples of how you ran you fuel lines to the carb on a banger with downdraft intake. Pics would be appreciated. I will be running a tank in the back of the rpu with a elec fuel pump

    We are running a Carter 6 volt positive ground pump with fuel regulator...both mounted under the cab then ran back up through the bottom of the cab at the firewall. Hooked back to the original line out through the original glass gravity filter system then to a fuel block and then to two 97s. Makes it appear original and works great. There is another thread very similar going on here right now as well.... 20141213_120621.jpeg

    Found the other thread, I'm looking for how to run fuel lines to the carb, he was asking about fuel pumps.

    I've been looking for this info as well, at least this post answers my question of whether or not the sediment bowl will handle pressure being applied. Deuced up! Is that 1/4 inch tubing you are running?

    Tedders, here are some pics I've found in my search I'll probably use a variation something like one of these.

    I don't think it is a good idea to run copper (or any hard line) from a solid point on the firewall or frame to the engine. The engine will flex in the mounts, and therefore the line should be rubber between the two.
