Not sure about your first question, but let me know if you do. I am replacing my fuel line now and there are a couple of tricks I wish I new. I am half way into it and must go back and remove to feed it through again. As for the second question. If you are looking for cheap you can find your best deal on EBAY. Even with the shipping it is cheaper then the standard radiators from your local mustang depots.

One thing I hated to do in business or hobbieswas something twice. Get a three or four core radiator (NPD, Mustangs Plus) now, don't have an inventory of used unwanted parts. The difference in price is going to be under $50. As to the fuel line, get a new one. There are two types for 67 V-8's, early, a one piece, and late (Feb 67 on), a two piece. The fuel line runs along the brake line to the rear. Ford used a bunch of clips that employ a butterfly type of retainer that fits in the provided square holes in the body. No matter what you do, dab a thin ring ofcaulk on the clip to seal the hole.

ok thanks, i believe that it is the two piece, is there some type of flimsy easily bendable fuel line, i know how hard this is to understand w/out pics, but i have to run it over my headers which are tight (touching) the coil towers. Is there any ohter year or vehicle that will have a 3-4 core radiator that i can stick in the car?
