While Tom is busy spoiling his grand children I thought I'd ask anyong that's looking in today.
Do you know if the 3/8 vac. line is fuel injection or standard fuel line ?
WHY ?, thought I'd try and find some colored hose to "dress up" the install, plus make it easy to trace lines if a suspected leak is causing a problem

3/8 vacuum line is the regular fuel line. Not the fuel injector line. Either will work but regular fuel line is $0.75/ft and FI line is $6-$8 per foot.

Thanks, that might be easier to find in colors than the FI kind.

Yes. A lot of hot rods use colored fuel line and they are carbureted and use the standard low pressure fuel line. Summit (http://summitracing.com/) or Jegs (http://www.jegs.com/) might have it?
