Bent fuel line

I need a pic or diagram of the fuel line on a 89 RS with a TBI and a 305. Not really sure if it's the fuel line or the return line. Looks like it was removed and thrown on the ground and driven over a few times, its kind of strangely bent and has some kinks in it. It's the line that exits from the back of the TBI on the passenger side, anybody have a good one they'd like to get rid of maybe?

That is absolutely perfect. Looks like I need number 38, figured it probably looked a lot like 39 since they start at the same spot and end at the same spot. Wonder what the new cost is??

The original P/N was 10055815, but it's probably no longer available.

When I bent my Fuel Line, it was such a bitch to replace. I had to go to the junkyard and I could not find a nice 305 tbi Engine with functional fuel lines to remove. I then found a nice fuel line on a 1991 pontiac firebird I removed the passanger side fuel line from that and took it home and insstalled it was about $3.00 at Pick your parts (Scrapyard) Good luck! They are easily bendable so be careful when you install it and make sure you do not over torque it. Take off the fuel cap if you are working in a hot enviroment that way the gas tank can vent, if not it will just start pouring out using any opening such as the open fuel line.

Yep, think your right about the junkyard, thanks for the part number and the advice on venting the fueltank.
