fuel line replacement
 
Need some advice on replacing the fuel line in my 69. I have a 1915 with dual 34’s (I know to small) and no matter how much I pump the gas I can't flood the carbs. If the car sits for more than two to three days without a start, it’s almost impossible to start. I've had to pour gas directly in the carbs and pump about a million times to get it started. And on the road its sluggish on the throttle. I've bought rigid 3/8" lines and wanted to know the best and easiest way to replace the existing line.

Thanks for the help.

This would also be mine first question.

Fuel lines under the car is the easiest way. Fuel lines through the tunnel is the hard way.

For the last option see the pictures on this link

In addition to the pump, check the screen inside the tank and the rubber line between the tank and the hardline. I've seen them kink and limit flow like bending a garden hose. If you decide to run hardline, the easiest route is down the passenger side of the pan in the channel for the pan bolts...
