I have an 89 5.7 TPI car. It looks to be pretty stock but has been in a field for 25 years. I'm in the process of pulling the motor and have a question about the fuel lines. Under the hood on the drivers side where the hard lines that run from and back to the tank terminate, there is a short section of flexible line that goes to the small hard lines from the fuel rails. Both of these (pressure and return) are covered in that corrugated plastic.
These are the lines I'm talking about. Are those available new?
They used to be, It may be about the time in the life cycle of parts that no one wants to dedicate a storage bin to parts for a 40-ish year old vehicle, and you may need to fabricate hose sets on your own. If the metal lines and fittings are intact, replacing just the fuel hoses and convoluted tubing should be easy enough. If the lines are fittings are corroded, you would at least have a reasonable pattern to match lengths and bends.
I did fuel lines pretty recently, local GM dealer was able to get me a new ACDelco return line pretty easy. The GM website told me some dealership in the Carolinas had the feed line, called em and they said there was maybe two new ones in existence that they knew of on their system or whatever. Needless to say, I had to go NOS for the feed, so I wouldn’t say new ones really exist anymore.
