V8 Gas line routing to fuel pump?

Post by McComet1963 »

What have you people (Guys and Gals) done for routing your fuel from the below firewall area to 302 fuel pump?

- Up and over?
- Through the frame to the wheel well and along the small ledge?
- Through the frame?
- Around the shock tower?
- Drill hole through shock tower?
- Other?

Pictures if you can...

Thanks, Pete

P.S. something simple I am missing?

There is a clip mounted to the back side of the sway arm mounting bracket on the front frame rail, driver's side.
That's where the steel line turns up to the fuel pump.
Sorry no picture. If you can't find it, I'll draw you a picture. Too dark for phone camera.

Sway BAR, not arm. Sorry about that. :roll:
The bracket is bolted to top of frame rail, just behind the diagonal brace goes to front of the car.
Back side of the bracket.
