Need help with rusted leaking fuel lines
Hello. I just got my Camaro Towed up to my new house yesterday and I started working on it today. I just got it the car. It had less than a 1/4 tank of gas in it, well it wasn't really gas is was alot of water and dry gas. It smelled like Vodka when I started to drain as much as I could out. I filled is up with some fresh gas did a very basic tune up (plugs, wires, cap, and rotor) Well it wouldn't try to start. I changed the fuel pump relay on it because I was buzzing/clicking a couple of weeks ago and now it does nothing. Well I pulled a plug out and it was still dry. So I went to check my filter and the lines where pretty rusty. Well when I tryed to loosen the one bolt and the line from the tank to the filter sprung a leak. It took me, my dad and a guy I work with forever to get the line clamped down. It seems that I am going to have to change the fuel pump and all of the lines. One of my questions is if anyone has a pic or a legable drawing of where I can cut in my trunk to get to the fuel pump. I really don't want to drop the rear. I don't care about cutting a hole in my car is has enough in the floor as it is. And how hard would it be to replace the lines with this http://store.summitracing.com/partde...&view=1&N=700+ . And are thoes other 2 lines with the fuel lines my rear brake lines. I should change thoes also they are just as bad as the fuel lines.
Thanks in advance.

and for the metal fuel lines.. you will probably have to go to the junkyard and find a camaro or goto the dealership and see if they still have them.

I have been researching the rear main brake line for my 83 bird and going through some older posts I found this link.

They have pre-bent brake AND fuel lines.
