Hey guys, trying to run a new fuel line for my new BB (505). I just bought a Holley 80-130 with 3/8" inlet and outlet. Is it possible to run 1/2" line and 3/8" adapters? Or should I just run 3/8" line? Do I have to jack up the body to replace the line? Can I avoid this by running braided line? Sorry for all the qs, couldnt find any previous topic that answered all these.

Thanks,

Tim

3/8 will be fine unless it's a high rpm 505. What year?

Have a 69 chevelle. Its a Mark Jones 505. I heard I had to lift the frame, but I thought maaybe some how I could get around that for now by using a braided line. Routing it a different way?

I have heard of people running braided lines through the frame.

Thats what I wanted to hear. Gives me hope :hurray:

Thanks

I'm trying to run lines thru my frame now. I don't know how far back you can go thru the frame though. Anyone know? Can you get all the way to the tank (over the axle and everything) thru the frame?

I run my starter cable through the frame over the rearend on the passenger side, 67.

Well, turns out I have to change out the rear end on the car. Was wondering if i would be able to run the fuel line any easier while the rear was out. Was also going to replace the rear springs while I have the chance. Any thoughts?

If your running the pre-bent steel there's no way, but to lift the body even with the suspension out. I just did mine with the suspension out. Had to cut and flare it and use a union above the lower control arm right where it goes up. If I need a 1/2 I will use a braided hose and run it along the steel line.

Braided hose sounds good! So basically I would have to snake it where the old bent line was? And that I can do easier with the rear sus. out?
