Hello Gents,
Another question for you. I installed an Edelbrock performer carb(AFB) back in 1988, (had a quadra that was very sick), I am going to now install a correct style fuel pump and staying with the edelbrock. Anybody else have that set up? Would I be able to order a fuel line from the cars that had the AFB so that it all would sit nice and pretty?

Before I converted to a braided fuel line from my new Carter pump I had too use a custom made (by myself) hard line with filter and connect it to a banjo fitting (Edelbrock available part) at the carb. I don't think you can get "factory" stuff too fit without adapting something. I hope this helps. Dennis

lotsafords,
The attached file details the things I did to accommodate an Edelbrock 1406 carb and 2101 Performer intake manifold. When we got the car it had the original pump to filter steel line stubbed off with a male barbed connector to which was attached a rubber hose to a barbed filter with another short hose to the front right corner of the AFB that was on the car.
I'm not sure I'm completely satisfied with this set-up but it's not leaking and I have steel lines from pump to carb. I may still try to bend a one-piece tube from filter to carb using a 45-degree inverted flare at the filter to get around the choke housing.
Hope this helps.

I just went through this... I think these are 5/16 lines. I know the filter is incorrect but I thought it was cool. No leaks once I got the angle correct. The first line which you see kept leaking at the flange going into the pump so I had to fit another line once more. The line from the carb to the filter is the same. Just no angle going up to the filter.

Also, the bend on the bottom line is slightly different.
