fuel lines and filter

[BroncoJoe19]

Okay, well I think my problem really is the fuel filter getting way too hot. Ill order the lines but have to look to see if my carb is different than the stock 2b.

And.... you have to understand that being born in los angeles means your taught pottery, art, and how to hate people that eat meat. But we still have guns. Lots of them.

Yeah... wasn't it about ten years ago, maybe twenty that the Koreans armed with small arms rifles kept the rioters at bay in LA until they ran out of ammo? IN the US approximately 50% of the households have at least one firearm. As a result there are far fewer burgularies in the US when the owner is home because the criminals have a fear of getting shot by the homeowner, as compared to other countries (such as Canada or Great Britan, each of which have more stringent firearms laws than the US).

The right to self defense is not a contradiction to vegetarianism for whatever reason one may decide to be a vegan.

Todd, Sorry if I took this the wrong way, you probably meant it to be humorous, but this comment struck a chord with me.

Well said Joe.

It wasn't really funny just a stupid joke on how people from Los Angeles are stereotypically viewed as left wing (liberal) and generally are far more for gun control. But, we have gang problems and that is why I said lots of guns. Canada seems to have tons of guns and less killings and gun violence (not sure exact stat.) Guns aren't the end all blame all, bad parenting is and sometimes bad wiring as well.

First, great debate about fuel lines. I'm going to steer clear of the gun debate...

I am starting a frame off restoration on my '67 in about a month, Enterprise, AL if anybody is nearby and loves turning wrenches on EB's... And Bully Bob, I now own 6 manuals and will probably buy more: Currently own two repair manuals, a "Rebuilding V8's" book, a repair/maintanence of manual tranny's, chassis/suspension repair/maintenance on off road vehicles book, and repair/maintenance on diffy's/axles.

I have debated also swapping fuel lines when the frame is restored and I'm starting to piece it all back together. But understand the hard plastic is a keeper, and rubber hoses should be replaced (I think I have a serious cracking issue on my rubber sections). Also, I've always noticed my fuel line runs pretty dangerously close to my exhaust pipes (dual flowmaster I think, which I will keep and probably not change at all). Any ideas of how better to run the line? It gets close right beneath the firewall before it reachs my CLEAR PLASTIC FILTER on my driver side fender (and yes, I swear by this clear plastic filter which now is looking tons better.)

Also, I was thinking about keeping a running thread of my progress on the frame off restoration with pics and constant questions, any thoughts? I figure if nothing else guys can reference the pics with their own questions.

Take care

Hay will..., Great post..!

Do you see any heat damage to the hard line..?

I would suggest copy/paste YOUR post to a NEW thread...... This one is prob. worn out.., and a new one would attract a better response.. IMHO

Well, I was thinking about doing a post similar to this: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread...7000&page=2

This guy clearly did a lot more work than I am going to. Any estimates on how long this will take if I piece out a lot of the work? I am basically looking at doing this:

-Pay for sand blasting and welding the frame / POR-15 myself

-Install new Cage 3.5" suspension lift

-Repair Fuel Lines / New brake lines

-Repair axles (few bad bearings) / sand blast and POR-15 brake components myself

-Drain & Flush tranny/transfer case to inspect for wear and tear, POR-15 - Don't know specific type on these, but 4 in the floor with a creeper

-Rebuild engine ('72 Engine Block, Comp's Xtreme Energy Camshaft, TFS Twisted Wedge Heads, Performer RPM intake, stock crank, still debating carborator but leaning towards a Holley 650 cfm) - Read an article that built this engine and pushed just under 400 hp at about 5500 RPM's, and all components I will purchase to operate best between 1000-5500 since I won't be taking this rig to the strip...

-Rock crawler power steering kit (Jeffs Graveyard)

-Pay for sand blasting and welding new floor pans, POR-15 bedliner for interior myself, paint all body parts myself

-Centech wiring harness

-Seats re-upholstered

-1" body lift

-Scooped hood for additional clearance for Holly 4bl carb and edelbrock intake

-Bikini kit (gonna be my new fair weather driver)

Any thoughts on how long this will take me? My work ethic is pretty darn solid, so I'll probably not come up for air until she rolls out of the garage shiny and new.

Are you hiring anybody? You make a lot of dough or you won the health and wealth raffle my friend. I would be satisfied with just a paint job and maybe an engine rebuild. Your timeline depends on how agressive you attack the rebuild. Some people will cram this work into a week (with self medication and friends), while others will do it right and spread it over a couple of years. Its all about making the truck yours and sculpting it into something you appreciate. Lets see some pics of this Bronco before its changed forever.
