feul line? for 73 340 e body - 09/07/09 01:05 AM
Hi all, finally getting some motivation to work on the car. I am looking at new fuel lines and assuming if I buy 3/8 feul and vapor line I should also purchase the 3/8 sending unit. This barracuda,s feul lines were pretty rotten and I think they were the factory 5/16 lines but do want to go bigger as there is lots more power in the 340 and maybe one day drop a 440 in it, thanks Tim

Yes, the 3/8 line will fit right on there...Just keep in mind your original set-up has the vent line from the tank to the canister for emmission control...The older style 3/8 tank sending unit will have a return line provision...So if you wanted to run a factory style vapor separator you'd need an aditional 1/4 inch return line for a 70-71 cuda{from the separator to the sending unit} if going the prebent route....If you don't plan on running the fuel/vapor return simply cap the return on the sending unit.....

okay thanks, the engine bay, or entire car will not be stock looking anyway. I had the vent line just hanging off the frame where the cannister used to be.
