- 73 Grande will undergo three phase build process. Phase 1 is complete (driver). Phase 2 is interior/exterior restoration. Phase 3 is ++ performance.
Now that I have a great recommendation on the best hard fuel line to use, I was wondering what end treatment should I use to connect the hard line to the funky Ford fuel coupling, using a flexible line to connect the two? (Please note, all lines will be fuel rated, Enthenol rated, and attached with fuel line rated clamps).
I will have a 3/8” fuel line coming through the passenger fender well, just aft of the battery tray, above the frame rail, through a grommet. The flexible line will go from that point to the Ford fuel coupling, approximately in line with the bottom of the smog pump. So, the line will be a bit like a J trap shape. I would rather use a Ford fuel coupling with a 90 degree on it, but so far, I haven’t been able to figure out which ones I need for both the inlet and outlet. So that might be the actual fitting, but even with that, the inlet to the engine will still be a bit lower that the fender well, so maybe more like a sideways S bend.
I’m adding this to help, if necessary, with the Copper/Tin hard line end treatment. My first EFI line and I’d like to get it right. Thanks, Steve.
