I just got done swapping from TBI to Carb, and this is the only way i could find to run the feed line, and i dont want it to be dangerous. heres the pic

 

witch line ? the one in the pic. looks like its laying on the header. not good ! looks like it could be straightened out to run along the valve cover then turned down. or the rubber line behind the alternator ? i dont like rubber fuel lines that close to the engine i would replace it with ss braided at least or metal tubing.

 

If you are talking about the curled line coming off the fuel regulator, I think that one is safe.

 

Sorry, i get a little dumb sometimes. Look at the picture again.

 

???

 

Looks like more than enough to me.

 

ditto

 

Although, you might want to cut down on the amount of rubber hose you're using, and secure it a little better.

 

and as soon as you get the spare cash, put some braided line in, for insurance sake...

 

I can vouch for the results of rubber lines going bad.....

But yea, they are ok. If you have some concern beyond suggestions that they are, put some heat wrap around them.

 

looks like that line runs right across the alternator mount.watch out for sharp edges!also,nylon zip-ties can keep things neat and tidy.vibration against anything can cut a line in short order!

I may try the heat wrap then. Does anyone know of any other way to run those line? That was the best way that i could find

 

Looks fine to me. TBI pump is not going to damage anything either so the rubber line is adequate.

 

rubber line will dry rot and crack and spill fuel all over those headers. braided line is the only thing i will use, period.

 

TPI lines are rubber and run the same pattern across

 

Don't see a problem with the line, as in the post above "thats the way the tpi lines are". If you're really worried about it cracking get some braded (like everyone else said) or you can get some high pressure rubber line from earl's. Used it on my car and have had no problems. In any case I think you're good and have nothing to worry about.

 

tpi lines are not exactly the same rubber hose. they are a high pressure rubber hose with a braided webbing inside them...kind like powersteering hoses.

 

Don't expect to pass tech inspection a any dragstrips with that setup. That much rubber hose is very dangerous.

You can do better. Spend the money on new steel line and reroute it better. Rubber hose should only be used to join the steel fuel line together where it comes off the frame to the motor to allow for vibration. Shouldn't be more than 1- 2 inches at any joint.

 

looks fine to me too just secure it.

 

Definetely cut down on the rubber line, a cheap way to get rid of some of it is to use 3/8 brake line, you can buy a 3 ft. pice from a local parts stor for only a couple of bucks. If you have to tech the car he will probably bounce it. (12 inch max rubber line in fuel system) if i remember the rule book right.
