Need set of flexible fuel hose w/stock connectors
Good evening,
As if anything else could go wrong during this 305-350 TPI swap, I was getting ready to fire her up and check my distributor timing when out of the corner of my eye I see a 3" pinpoint stream of fuel coming out of one of my flex hoses that supply both primary and return fuel to my injector rail.
I have searched the web and came up with nothing, called all the standard parts stores and still nothing.
If anyone has a set of these that are in really good shape and wants to part with them or: If they have converted the stock to custom braided, I would love to know the specs and coupling requirements so I can build a set for my ride.
I'm absolutely dead in the water until I get these lines replaced.
Text me at 385-888-4619 if you can help
Thanks
Steve

Could always CAREFULLY cut through the crimp sleeve around the hose, peel the old hose off the fittings. Then hit your local hydraulic supply shop, and have them assemble your original fittings into new hose with new crimp sleeves.
Consider how old a used hose is, what it'll cost, and the shipping... Vs buying a new length of hose, and paying for a smidge of labor...

Okay Drew. I will work on that. Get hem off and see If I can find someone to reproduce them. You may be right about used ones. May be jumping into a another failed set. Beths91Camaro, If I get backed into a corner I may entertain that set. Both the 350 and the 305 fuel rails are identical, except for how the lines feed through the serpentine belt brackets. I have a 350 in it now, but chose to stay with singular belt drive system to maintain the 1986 appearance except for the tell-tale center bolt valve cover configuration, it looks like a 305...

ok, let me see what house of houses comes up with. The hoses have been at the shop since last Thursday. I will definitely contact you. What kind of price are you looking at?
