You might want to consider plastic fuel line if you need that much. Dorman sells it. I'll have to look up part# later. You can get fittings that are designed for it. It made sense for me because of the motor swap, and even though being a 75 it came with the better tunnel lines, it's still old and I'd feel better with new.

Agree!

Also Northern Foreign Autoparts in Nashua stocks the right hose.

Can’t recall the places near you…it’s been 25 or more years since I lived down there…..
Maybe Maynard, or Acton has a decent autoparts place still??

Bell metric is for sure a place to know, and shop.

What I learned.
With carbs, it’s better (easier) to have a fuel shutoff before the carbs.
Park car, turn off shutoff, let idle till it dies.
This removes the fuel from the carbs and you won’t need to clean them as often.
Turn on, wait till fuel pump tone changes, the carb bowls are full.
Then crank.

Hello...I like this idea of a fuel shutoff valve. This might stop my percolating problem on hot days!! I wonder how long it would take to drain the carbs at idle?
Thanks.

$4.50 ft at oreillys for the 50 psi. Plus it's not as stiff as the 225 psi.

I looked at the “premium” fuel hose at auto zone, labeled power steering cooler hose on the box. Uh,no thanks!
