the fuel lines coming from the tank are in bad shape so i want to replace them. I have looked, but couldn't find a kit for the 97, does any one know of one or it just a custom job.

 

Just buy factory replacements. Running custom fuel lines is spendy if you aren't planning on doing big mods later that need the extra fuel.

 

Where can I get the factory replacements? Do I have to go to the dealer or is there a place online that sells them?

 

rockauto.com has the connectors for the standard flexible fuel hose lines. Hard lines can be done by yourself by getting some straight stock from your local auto parts store and rent a line bender kit from the an auto parts store.

Good luck...
