Fuel line Routing
« on: February 14, 2014, 07:45:54 AM »
Does anyone have any good pics or diagrams on where exactly the fuel line runs on my GS? Possibly someone who has done a body off resto has some decent pics of this routing. If so - please send to freddie.zee65@gmail.com

Thanks,
FreddieZee

I have done some searches and this has been asked before but never really been answered.

The '66 GS lines are routed exactly like my '65 GS. Walt, thanks for posting the photos.

Glad to help!
I prefer posting the pics here, it helps more people, and it's a way of preserving some of the stuff I've researched and learned.
The clips were painted with IES zinc chromate primer which I bought at the local auto-body supply store.
Fuel line was from 'The Right Stuff'. I sent them my original and they copied it.
Brake line I made myself using a 25' roll of tubing from NAPA and fittings/spiral covering from one of the repo houses. Brake line was bent to copy the original. Stock lines don't fit real well, kinda wish I just bent mine for the best fit, instead of just like original. I mean, really, are car show judges gonna even notice???
