Gas Line

Glad I was the motivation for you to get yours installed..lol
Did you cut your old one to remove it..? Is that the two pieces in the picture..?
Not sure how different our lines are, but in the pic your line looks a lot more "straight" than mine...unless yours was bent some to remove.
I tried for a couple hours or more to get mine in, but was unsuccessful. Even removed the shock and wheel on the fuel line side...but just wasn't working out. I'll try again in a few days.

Mine was already cut from when I installed the electric fuel pump.

I started by disconnecting the line on the fuel pump side. For more access I removed the alternator. Then I pulled the line from all the clips. After that, I just grabbed the line and started pulling. It came out a little, then jammed on the header so I had to push down to unjam it. Back to yanking...this time using my leg against the crossmember. Once it broke loose, it came right on out.

I'm working on a 66 Barracuda, so it may be straighter than yours. What amazed me was how quickly the engine started after the install. It only turned over a couple...three times and fired right up!

Good idea to take a break and hit it later.
