Re: fuel line question
 

i'd like to know,too.
that's the kinda stuff i was looking at but i don't know anybody that's used it

Re: fuel line question
 

Tom, use Moroso aluminium line.

Re: fuel line question
 

Have aluminum line in both of my cars.
Earls makes aluminum line that can handle higher pressure.
Carefully route it and support it well with rubber covered P-Clips.
Terminate it correctly.
Slip heat reflective cover over it.
Will last a long time especially if the floor does not have a lot of flex.

The ID of the 1/2 inch aluminum tubing is larger than that of the generic AN-8.

Re: fuel line question
 

Now you do Tom! I've seen several Stockers with it. In a full cage car I think the solid lines are fine but I would think in a Stocker or a car with some flex in it braided steel or the new braided nylon would be smarter. I ran the Moroso aluminum line in my SS car for many years with no problems. Just my opinion. Jim

Re: fuel line question
 

I don't want to change the subject here but someone brought up the Holley Blue pumps. I ran two of them back in the day on my SS car for years with no problems. When I got the Volare' it had a Holley Blue pump on it and at the first race it seized up and I put a new one on it which started leaking at the second race I went to. I replaced that one with another and it started leaking two races later. I since have replaced the Holley with an Aeromotive pump that, other than being very loud, has been flawless. I have run over 118 at "H" weight several times with it so I think it is providing plenty of fuel. I have a MagnaFuel pump waiting just in case. My point with this is that the good 'ol Holley pump "ain't what it used to be" in my opinion. Once again, just my experience and opinion! Jim

Re: fuel line question
 

Agree with that. Holley quality control is not as good as it used to be.
Heck, Bary Grant used to make good components back in the day; now it's just junk. Don't you just love outsourcing???

Re: fuel line question
 

i'll be running K,L, or M /stick and i was looking at the braided nylon but as there's so many different mfgrs, who's do i use and who's do i stay away from?

Re: fuel line question
 

Tom just go down to the nearest AMC dealer and order the factory line.That'll do it.
