71 350 with holley 650. I am replacing my fuel pump and would
like to replace the rubber lines while I am at it. So if you can give me
some ideas and advice I would appreciate it. Thanks

Chirp, chirp...

A 90 degree bend out of the fuel pump, a cut and bent hard line up to the fuel filter, and a 90 degree bend out of the filter to the Holley split line.

I ran braided line with a filter and pressure gauge from my fuel pump to the Qjet on my engine.

Thanks Roy, I was thinking of using the LT1 lines but want an inline filter
between the pump and the carb. Might use the Lt1 lines and just splice
in a fuel filter. I actually did a search for fuel pumps yesterday an came
across a thread with some nice pics but I can't seem to find it today.
Your motor looks sweet.

Turbojet. take a look at this one. Made it following the basic Lars instructions with GM in-line TPI filter. Hope this helps. I have a Holley 650 4175 spreadbore it has similar fuel inlet to Q-Jet.

Nothing down to the pump, but there is a nice picture above showing that part....these connect with a compression T fitting for the dual feed carb with 3/8 lines.....To make a good line the important part is a quality tubing bender.

I did the Lar's Fuel Line thing. Added a regulator and gauge. All solid tubing with double flares from pump to carb.

Here is a fuel line system I did using stainless line and the techniques outlined in my paper. This engine uses a return style regulator with a return line to avoid vapor lock issues and to keep cool fuel circulating past the carb inlets.

I used a summit in-line fuel filter and some AN -6 size fittings and did a 37* flares in my stock fuel line to eliminate the stock tiny fuel filter inside the carb's inlet housing. Looks nice, works very well, and very easy to do.
