86 Z28 5sp LG4 fuel line replacement ?

Has anyone here ever replaced the fuel lines on a carbureted Camaro. Tank to motor. It’s been sitting for about 20 years and one line was leaking so I want to replace them. The car runs but not good. Thanks for your time.

i am sure someone has. without too much consideration the options are order a new one or make your own. i imagine dropping the tank would be the hardest part (if you go back that far) i have a 86 ta lg4 5sp so ive been under mine. that was the hardest looking part to me.

Re: 86 Z28 5sp LG4 fuel line replacement ?

no need to drop the tank. the steel lines from the tank are connected to the body lines with short sections of fuel hose. there is a mounting point directly over the transmission that may pose a problem if you install them with the transmission still installed, might be able to do it with the tranny dropped some and the driveshaft/TQ arm removed.

look underneath and the routing is fairly straightforward.
