Hemi, Shaker, AFB's - 04/27/10 02:45 PM

Getting close to firing the Cuda' after 3 years. I am having a hard time making fuel lines that will fit under the shaker. Been trying to make them out of 3/8 tubing. I see a kit on E-Barf for $189!!! That seems way too expensive for my cheap a$$. The problem is getting a tight enough bend, close to the carb's body, to clear the base. What have you guys used? I don't care about originality, just function, safety, and so long as it doesn't look like a hack job. Thanks-

I'd be curious what the bends look like on that 189 set especially if they are stainless , the 3/8 fuel full body lines I have seen in stainless have kinked bends . You can't easily, at least i haven't been able to yet, do those tight bends by hand ????

you need to buy the special 90 degree fitting to clear the base plate at the rear.

These are reproduction lines but I don't remember where I got them.

Anyone know of a source for the 90 degree fitting? My home town parts store is coming up empty.

I got them it from year one but I was at pepboys and saw one that was similar and it may have been for a 3/8 line fitting , if you can go without 100% stock look one of them on each carb would make doing this easier with 3/8 line
