Fuel line

Hi,
Can someone tell me what size wrench is needed to remove the fuel line running from the fuel pump to the carb? Thanks.

Btw, the car I'll be removing it from is a 70-72 350 skylark that's complete. So, if anyone needs anything give a hollar and I'll check to see if it's there and what condition it's in.

Thanks again,
Rob Margel

 

5/8 ..... I would strongly suggest a line-wrench, as a normal wrench may round that puppy off. You may need a 1" wrench also to hold the filter housing from spinning, since the fuel line is usually tighter than the fitting in the carb......

 

Thanks Mike!!

Btw,
Does the 2-barrel and 4-barrel share the same fuel line running from the fuel pump to the carb for the 350?

Thanks,
Rob

 

Now that, I don't know .......Anyone? o No:

 

Okay,
I asked about the fuel line because I got a new carb and I figured that I would replace the old line because there's a little kink in it. Well, the carb I got is a rebuilt 800 cfm from a '73 455 and the inlet for the fuel line isn't the same as the one from the '70 quadrajet that was on my 350. So, the fuel line on the car is too short. Can I use a fuel line from a 455 to solve this problem? Or, can I use a 3/8" braided line running from the fuel pump to the carb? Also, the new carb dosen't have a vacuum fitting in the back like my old carb which I think is used for the ventilation system. Is there any other vacuum lines that I can run off of to solve this problem?

Thanks,
Rob

 

I think a steel line from a 455 should fit. You could go the way of steel braided hose, but the solid line is a better call. You could always tee the vacuum at the back of the intake for the ventilation system.
