Intake manifold fuel lines
I am pretty much having to redo the entire fuel system on my 86 RS 305. I need help finding the fuel lines that are pictured. I have only been able to find rolls of fuel line,but nothing that comes shaped to fit correctly. Anybody know where I should look?

Re: Intake manifold fuel lines
I have an 88 firebird that was originally a 305 TBI, and I just planted a 350 in it's place. Back when it was the 5.0 I did have to replace the fuel lines behind the TB. I was new at car work and inexperienced and snapped the lines with out using two wrenches! I eventually had to go to the junk yard and rip out a pair of fuel lines from a donor. I tried everything they had at autozone to patch it but nothing would hold pressure. The stock lines from the junkyard worked fine.

Re: Intake manifold fuel lines
I'm not sure if this is a swapped engine or not. I know the casting number is 10108449 which is tbi intake. I haven't looked at the engine code yet.

Re: Intake manifold fuel lines
What Ghettobird52 posted about a swap. TBI in f-body cars started in '88. It also looks like a swap as some things aren't quite correct.
Find a TBI f-body in the JY and get the fuel lines from it. Also get the throttle cable bracket as the one on the car doesn't look right (hits the TBI feed line).
I don't believe that TBI cars had a throttle return spring. So that can probably go away, may not be a location on a TBI throttle cable bracket for it.

Re: Intake manifold fuel lines
We dug into the fuel system more in depth today. The lines one there were absolutely not a stock situation, it looks like he did not take his time on engine swap. He also majorly hacked into the main wire harnesses. I will look at our local junkyard though and see what I can find. Thank you both for your responses.

Re: Intake manifold fuel lines
John,thank you for the reply. After finding out some other problems today I may be considering swapping to a 350 motor. That is still up in the air but if I do decide to just rebuild the 305 stuff then I certainly will let you know.
