A follow up to post #28 in regard to the first design aluminum fuel line to carb.

This particular ‘65 GTO is a great reference showing several components used at all four factory’s in the early stages of the ‘65 build.

This first design had (4 bends) and was installed for about the first 4 months Aug. through Nov. of the ‘65 build.

The second design had (5 bends) and was installed for about 8 months from Dec. through July of the ‘65 build.
1966 4BBL. used a different line to the carburetor, mostly rubber hose.

I show both designs below.

This ‘65 was ordered with the “wire wheel disc covers” which requires the valve extensions.

There were two of these 1-1/16” extensions in the console glove box when I purchased the car.
Fortunately I was able to find a couple more of that design and length.

This spare had been slightly used at some point.

The solid Black (code A) wheels on this car has a “W” and “GM” stamped on the face along with a “6 9” at the valve stem.
