Default fuel line ideas

I need suggestions for a fuel line setup. I have a KR and I'm swapping the original Holley for a Quick Fuel carb to make it more dependable. The issue is that the new carb doesn't have the fuel port on the drivers side so that I can use my existing lines. The issue is that the PCV tubing interferes with the manifold(?) on the only dual fuel line kits I've found. Any ideas on a safe system I can put together without calling in an engineer?

Thanks in advance for your ideas!

if its a double pumper I suspect that you could take the rear bowl and place it on the front and the front bowl on the rear....This could possibly work.

If its vac 2nd...probably not

You should be able to purchase a complete fuel line kit, pump to carb for under $100, just pay attention to the dual fuel line at the carb, there are two sizes based on carb inlet spacing, 8 21/32" or the wider 9 5/16". The PCV may require a new hose because it probably runs to the rear carb base currently. Holley places the PCV at the pass side bottom, QFT probably does the same.

Thank you for the suggestions. I contacted Quick Fuel and they sold me a new front bowl that has the driver side inlet and it allows me to use stock Holley tubing to connect the bowls. They were helpful and I got it in 3 days. Nice, clean stock look and it's amazing how much better the new carb works vs. 38 year-old one.
