This winter with the many other things ive done to my 65 i sumped my tank and ran a pump in the rear. My question is right now im running the braided line on the inside of the drivers side rail in the rear. Then go to the outside of the rail in the front and bring it up to the front drivers apron where the stock line would and it meets the reg. I was thinking yeasterday when i put subframe connectors how am i going to run the line. I cant just cross over with the connectors their and the inside of the front rail is a little cramped with the clutch linkage and headers and what not. I was thinking of running it like you do the steel lines where it crosses the front rail where it starts to go up, but with braided lines thats too tite of a bend. Other option was to uses 2 90deg fittings with a fitting inbetween to go across the front rail like the steel lines. What have you guys done?

 

Best bet is to run braided line from the tank to the pump where it's mounted, then run hard line all the way up to the front where it comes through into the engine compartment. Then either run hard line up towards the top then braided to the carb etc, or just run braided the whole way through the engine compartment. But you're best off with hard line on the chassis, since the braided line DOES need to be replaced eventually(rubber inside gets bad after a while like typical fuel line) and it's expensive to replace. Hard line lasts forever as long as it doesn't get damaged or corroded, and it takes up less space so it's easier to route.

 

Ya its a little late for running hard line i have it ran now i dont mind the 120 every few year to replace the braided. I just want something that isnt gonna have a posibility of hitting the ground.

 

I see your dilemma. You could get some pipe mounting clamps maybe, use them to secure the line to the frame rail/subframe. You should be able to find them for the proper size for the OD of your line.

 

It depends what kind of subframe connectors you use..I used the Comp Engineering ones and there is a gap between the floor and the rear of the frame connectors where they bolt up to the rear spring eye..It is enough room that the braided line can cross over from the inside of the frame rail at the rear to the outside of the frame connector..Then it is a straight shot up to the front just like the factory line(at least on my 68)..

 

Cant do this either might do side exhaust so want to leave it open to have that possibility. so i need subframes that hug the floors.

 

How about the tin man's. You could run it through them into the front rails.

 

Thats the set was was looking at or spin tech i think is their a space their. Now that i think about it their should be
