Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of replacing my stock old fuel lines. But I just can't find the exact ID of the lines & hoses.

Right now I'm thinking of 3/8" ID hoses from the fuel pump to the hardlines under the body and 3/8" hardlines again to the fuel filter & rail. the problem is - that I can't figure out what hardlines I need.. has anyone done this before?

another way to go is with A/N fittings and s/s hoses completely replacing the hardlines. However I'm not sure whether that's a good setup for a mostly stock car. any ideas on this?

So which way shoud I go?

And what parts will I need? :confused:

Any help would be appreciated :)

go on jegs.com they have the factory 3/8" hardline for a pretty r4esonable price

not really sure of your motor set up or future plans but it never hurts to upgrade...
you could pick up probably about 30ft of 6AN fuel hose although pricy its alot easier to work with then those factory hard lines

plus with that your prossibilities are endless;
an fuel fulters
in line fuel pumps
external bilge style pumps
also a really clean engine bay

you can even use the AN line just like a regular hose (in that you can slide it over a fitting and secure it with a clamp) if you running the stock fuel rail/regulater and it always leaves room for upgrading

personally is say spend a little extra, you wont regret it, my 2 cents
