I remember reading a post about people never having taken off their rocker panels and was wondering if there were anyone else with the original fuel lines in the tunnel.
I just ordered new SS lines from Tangerine today, but was curious if I'm one of the last holdouts having milked these things beyond reason. I haven't driven this car very much in the past 10 years, so it was never a priority to me, until now. Thanks |

I have the original lines in my '73 and '74. I know I should go stainless, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. Let me know how the upgrade works out, Lawrence. Not sure what all is involved to change them out.

Not sure what all is involved to change them out. A common "wifes tale" about the plastic lines failing as mentioned its the rubber hose that joins them up that fails after 40 plus years.....end of story,no offence to people than have gone to SS lines . |

Though i don't have as much experience as most here, when i changed mine to ss the plastic lines in the engine bay were extremely brittle and i wouldn't trust them. The plastic lines in the tunnel were ok but they had a lot of build-up on the inner wall so……… Again, i would not trust the engine bay lines. They snapped with a little rough handling. Steve |
