Uh, and why is that fuel line disconnected now? Well, since I was so lazy about trying to use the existing fuel lines, I was pulling and prodding them to fit. When we first tried to fire the motor, we had fuel leaks at the crimped end of the fuel filter, as well as at the rear bowl fitting!! Since I really wanted to still use hard lines I even tried buying new ones that were so far off they weren’t going to work!!



It was at this point that I decided to give up on the “stock” look and go an entirely different direction. I saw a system like this on the internet but didn’t like the idea of the fittings being “crimped” on. I took a picture to a local hose and fitting company near me, Mesa Hose. They made me a killer set-up and even had an adapter to connect my fuel filter to their line!! And, since they’re flexible, I’ll be able to remove the fuel bowls if I ever need to change jets, without disconnecting everything!!! I found another “correct” fuel filter I had laying around and we were back!!
