It came up to almost $190 before shipping , $75 of that is for the carb line kit. Wow! All this just to move the line from the inside of the frame rail in the engine bay to the outter fenderwell and going to a 8 AN from the regulator to the carb.

Easy to cut w/a pvc cutter and no bloody fingers and less than 1/2 the weight..............guess we`ll see. It definately needs to be clear of excessive heat though and w/fenderwell headers, I just ran it along the frame rail in front of the engine to the reg. which now is mounted at the carb. 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....
