QUOTE(Vysoc @ Nov 17 2009, 04:09 PM)  You state that you would like to make "this thing safe". Then save the little amount of money it takes to get the Stainless Steel lines and do it right. The original plastic lines lasted 37 years. Why would high pressure fuel lines be unsafe? |

I have a set of Tangerine Racing fuel lines for my /6 resto. But I'll tell you this; If the original fuel lines are still soft and pliable, you don't need to replace them. At least not at this time IMHO. Save your money right now for something else on the car and do the fuel lines later if you chose to do so. If they're hard and brittle, they will crack easily and should be replaced.

Hard to tell what kind of condition they are in. What I can reach feels flexible and smooth. |

Check the ends in the engine compartment. That's where they get hard and brittle. You can easily pull the rubber hose from the plastic lines and check them that way.
