[Chevelle-list] SBC fuel line

[John Nasta]

Don't worry about it. Mine has been that way for years. I did have to  
buy a banjo fitting for the carb, but you don't need anything to  
support the fuel line. Just make the steel part of the line taller  
than the manifold so that the rubber part doesn't end up lying on the  
engine (friction & heat).
