Carb Fuel line Options -Clean Look

[MALIBLOC]

What have you done to clean up your engine bay, from my fuel pump to carb the line and filter bug me , any suggestions on how I can run maybe a hardline from put to carb with a filter in-between. Any help is appreciated.

That fuel line entering under the left side of the breather makes me wonder what carb you have? Most auto parts stores have short straight sections of steel fuel line with flare fittings already installed on each end. Fuel filters also come with inverted flare fittings that will fit those lines. I you buy a tubing bender, a flaring tool, and small tubing cutter you can custom make a line to run up from the pump to a filter and then on to the carb fitting. Small Block Chevy fuel lines can be bought pre bent as well.

Looks to me to be a List 1850 Holley carb:

I'm intrigued by your new radiator. Is there not room for a crossflow radiator?

He has a late 50's truck and the top tank radiator is what the truck came with and makes for an easier replacement.

The L79 Nova/Corvette motor came with a Holley that had a transfer tube ala 1850. But it uses a different front bowl. It would possilbe to buy that bowl and run the OEM steel line from the pump to carb. But that bowl may prove to be pricey.

Right stuff makes a pump to carb steel line for the Edelbrock carbs, and if you run a dual feed Holley you can get the OEM lines from a Z/28 if running small block or from a Corvette 425 hp 427 if you have a big block.

You can just replace the fuel fitting on the bowl and make a new solid line.

Or use a fitting made for a n type line like this.
