I'm starting my conversion back to EFI and noticed that the plastic fuel lines running through the tunnel are not in bad shape. I'm tempted to use them as is. Anyone on the board have experience with the longevity of these plastic lines? If they are an accident waiting to happen, I'll replace them with SS.

You guys really need to click that 914 Info button at the top sometime. There's a tech article on this very subject, complete with lots of pictures.
My two cents on replacement, if you're planning on doing an EFI retrofit, absolutely replace them if you're going to be putting the high-pressure pump up front. Nothing like old plastic and high fuel pressure to start a nice fire. |
