For the main back to front line I bought a coil of 5/16” steel line and bent it up myself.
For the pump to carb line I bought one from a Mustang vendor for 289 V8

I used 3 pre flared 5 ft sections from oreilys. they have couplers also. I cant remember if the 3rd one was a 5footer or not, they have different sizes . they are just big brake lines actually. but they have a tuff coating on them. I used the same thing but smaller for my brake lines. I figured if a line even gets damaged it will be easier to just replace a section than the whole thing. & if I bend a section wrong it isnt so hard on the wallet. I've built 3 vehicles using these & never had a leak.
