Re: 79 Chevy Long Bed

So far I've replaced the valve cover gaskets, replaced all four tires with used ones last year, Replaced and rewired both tail lights and head lights, new spark plugs, new belt. I "attempted" to rebuild the Dual jet carburetor that was on it cause it was all gunked up and covered in Dirt Dauber Nests. I bought a rebuild kit, tore it down cleaned it up and now it floods the engine with fuel. I bought another one at a junk yard, but the fuel line wont reach it, also had a friend give me a Quadrajet and Manifold. I was going to put the quadra-jet on but then thought better of it with gas almost $4.00 around here. Oh I Also changed the transmission fluid and filter. I had it inspected before rebuilding the carb and it passed all safety issues. So what do you guys think do I buy a stainless steel fuel line to connect the Dual-jet or do I Swap out the manifolds for the Quadrajet? I would love to get some experienced opinions on this.
