rookie mistake, new counsel

[rileydog]

i have an all original F100 Custom just needing a little TLC. I was removing the carburator(1st time in my life) and twisted the fuel line that runs out of the front of the carburator to the fuel pump. I don't want braided line, would like to keep my truck original. Its a 302 2barrel manual transmission. Any advice about where to find a suitable replacement.?Thanks from a new member.

pick n pull or national parts depot, also autozone or kragens has alot of old truck stuff.

it's just 5/16 fuel line .You can get it in bulk and bend it to your application. Use your old one as a template.

Just remember that the 5/16 steel tubing needs to be bent with a tube bender.

Just one inexpensive example from Hrbor Freight.

You can get them anywhere. Various styles and prices.

The universal tube you buy will most likey need to be cut and flared also

Bending and cutting tubing is a skill. Like everything on our trucks, there is a learning curve, thats why they are a hobby.
A fuel line is a good place to start and get some practice.

While you can bend it from bulk, you can also buy exact reproductions from NPD, Inline Tube and several other suppliers in both regular and stainless steel.

NPD's a good source... I'd also order yourself a FREE LMC Truck catalog. They've got everything "stock/option" & a few other aftermarket goodies in there as well.
Later.
