Carb fuel line

[Dbarnes72]

Looking for some wisdom on fuel line routing.........I have metal line ran up to just near the brake proportioning valve with an AN fitting on the end. What's the best line to use from there? Braided hose flex piece and then back to metal or hose all the way from off of the frame?? Pictures for inspiration would be great! Cheap opportunity to show off my new Raptor Liner job too.

Assuming you're running an electric pump here?

I would run braided hose from the hard-line directly to the carb. You can get AN compatible inlet fittings (or entire hose ends - see below) for the carb side. Where is your fuel pressure regulator? You can buy prefabbed braided pressure kits to make these runs.

Thanks for the input. I missed it. Yeah I agree with braided. I am running a Carter P4070 so I should be good on pressure with a Quadrajet. I'll start looking at the high dollar stuff.

Quadrajets don't like much pressure, you still need a regulator in my opinion.

I've read that. Pump specs say 4-6psi output. Do I need to shoot for less? Do you recommend a particular regulator?
