Need some quick help with fuel line routing
Need some quick help with fuel line routing Just in the beginning stages of swapping the 455 for a LS on a 71 Buick GS. I have the Holley Sniper fuel tank with the Corvette filter/regulator setup. I have the car up on the lift and I'm not seeing a good way to route the fuel lines. Do any of you guys with a Chevelle, Skylark, or 442 have any pics of how you did yours?
Thanks for the replies.
I didn't think about using the stock line.Doesn't the stock line have rubber line in a few different places? I just kinda glanced at it today and it doesn't look like enough room between the brace that upper control arms bolt up and the body.

The long run from around the spring pocket in the rear, going all the way to the front should be one piece and it should all be metal. You can flare the steel line with a Rigid 377 tool and use appropriate AN fitting and hoses. You can also use compression fittings to convert to AN style fittings.
Here is a video that I made a while back on how to use the Right 377 tool and connect hardline to AN fittings.

No problem! Once you see how the flare is made and the parts used to make it work, it's pretty simple. Also, if you go with AN fittings and lines, make sure you use PTFE lined hose. It's not a flexible, but it will hold up to today's fuels, unlike rubber lined hose.
