Fuel Line

I have an 84 Z28 with a 305. I am attempting to install a new fuel line from the mechanical fuel pump to the q-jet carb however I can not get the routing down right. Does anyone have pics of theirs they can post on here to help me out please?

Re: Fuel Line

So I saw that but it doesn't really help, plus mine has A LOT of bends in the line and I can't seem to get it routed right.

Re: Fuel Line

So yea the line that came in the mail looks just like that one and I believe it is meant to run behind the water pump. I tried beside it and it almost works perfect but it doesn't line up right into the fuel pump because of the bottom hose coming off the water pump.

Re: Fuel Line

The Water Pump Has To Be Removed To Install The Fuel Line,That Line Is Meant To Go Behind The Water Pump.

Re: Fuel Line

I have it removed but for some reason it isn't lining up. Do you have a picture of your motor or another so I can see?

Re: Fuel Line

This is all I could find so far.
It will either route inside or outside of the pass side WP mounting leg.
This picture shows outside.
