Measure the rod. If it needs replaced, check around about getting a good one. I think ARP still makes one worth buying, but these days everybody is downgrading so ask around about that. Don't want to revisit this next month.

Buy a good tubing bender and flare tool. Bluepoint makes a nice flare tool, will last as long as you can keep people from stealing it from you.

Make a new setup to attach to the carb. Get a T and some other fitings to make it work. That China made POS on there now isn't getting it. Cheap chrome to flake off, is bent all to crap now.

Replace the fuel line from tank to pump.

Do what you have to with steel lines and the tools to get rid of all that rubber line. That is about as much as you need in the entire car going off the frame to the pump in those pics. You have more than that anyway by the tiem you add up all the little spots.

Looks like more at the front of the engine going up to the clear filter that needs to be eliminated and replaced with a steel one. Get rid of that as well.

You need to put new hose from the sender to the steel line, from the line to the pump, and just use the little pieces that come with your new steel filter. That is all of the rubber line you need. Should be no more than about 12" total.

Used new clamps.
