Default Carb Fuel Line Routing

How do you guys have your fuel lines ran. Specifically how did you clear the rear end and where did you run it into the engine area... IM just not sure how to route it and still be safe...Pics are handy..

my 85 used to be cfi/efi, I ran -an8 line from the tank up to the front zip tied right to the existing efi lines, basically the efi lines became a carrier for the carb line

Mine comes out of my rear sump, up towards the pump right behind the bumper. From the pump it goes over the top of the fuel tank, over the rear end by the right rear upper control arm. Follows frame rail and frame connectors to the front. Routed it up in the inner right front wheel well and came out a little hole in the shock tower straight to the carburetor.

I might have to buy a longer line...my pump is mounted to the back of the support plate and basically comes out of the filter in the corner of the passenger side. so i cant really get directly over the tank....i just didnt feel warm and fuzzy routing it through the rear wheel well. Like a bone head i routed my line originally down the drive tunnel....tech guys dont like that

Mine is not in the rear wheel well by any means. My stock line was run down the tunnel. My fuel line crosses over the rear end on the inside of the control arms if that makes any sense. If I was at the house I'd run out in the shop and snap a picture for you of it. It's not the greatest but it works for me.

Mine isn't in yet but like MJR I planned on running it down the same path as the OEM lines. I'm using a tank sump pickup that mounts like the OEM fuel pump (CFI) with -10 outlet reduce to -8 for the fuel line. I'm still trying to commit on the Fuel Pump. I really want to Run a Victor Manual pump and run the lines over the rear and down the subframe connector on the drivers side but about decided to run a Holley Black Pump (new design). I'm really having a tough time with this one myself.
