SBC Fuel Line Hard Line with no rubber hose

In this video I remake a Hard Line Fuel Line between the carburetor and the fuel pump.

[@dgomes4464]

You answered my question at the end about the filter. That’s a great point about clogging up the pump by placing your filter before the pump. Thank you

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

I really like your videos. Very professional and informative and for some reason I feel like you remind me a lot of my grandfather, he's passed on now at age 84 so it's nice to see some resemblance that brings back fond memories.

[@ThrottleStopRacing]

Thanks for the complement on the videos, found memories are great.

The video and the person I hoped existed! Thank you!

Thanks.

0:30 ….THIS IS HOW YOU KNOW ITS GONNA BE A GREAT VIDEO!

[@V8Lounge]

Very good explanation. I bought one of these professionel flaring tools from sykes pickavant and bent the same steel line as in the video but I still have some sealing problems at the pump fitting. The double flare is not sealing well and I tried it several times. Good Video! Greetings from germany.

[@marshallmalone3870]

Very well done.

[@ThrottleStopRacing]

Thank you.

[@tomdeyle6103]

Nice end product!

[@ThrottleStopRacing]

I try. Arthur is home if you want to talk to him.

[@ronbunker5778]

Good video, the only suggestion I would have is if you had used a silver marker we could have seen the bend lines better but I learned a lot!

[@ThrottleStopRacing]

Thanks, the marker would have been better as you say.

i got 1990 k5 blazer 5.7 had it rebuild with a few up grades everything is pretty mush stock i up graded the cam to a howard cam rattler lift 225/230 duration 0.50/227/235 centerline 03 i still have the factory swirl port heads i got headers 3' pipes all the way back i up graded my torque converter to 2000 to 2400 stall and 4:10 gears i just put my engine in about a week ago it was a tbi so i converted it to carb...im having problem trying to get it to run right i put a brandnew edelbrock carb 1406 on it..i got 12-887 holley regulator set it to 6 psi i got it to run starts up good but its backfiring and popping out my exhaust ..i have a vacuum port on my regulator but did not hook it up dont no if thats the problem or not..or is the carb to small for my set up...you can smell the burning and the raw gas in park when u accelerate and give it more gas it sound good but at idling its popping and backfiring like someome popping fire crackers..tell me what you think

[@kylelee4682]

What size is the line? I am going to my one for my 350 thanks for the video

[@rossadams3077]

Great video, thanks. I just subscribed after reading the comments about you building a C-10. My 1983 C-10, conversion 250/350 is what brought me here. btw was that copper line or copper clad?

[@clydeusa6596]

Anyone that says they never forgot the nut, hasn't done many lines. Lol

[@ThrottleStopRacing]

I have forgotten a few myself and it usually is the last one.

[@hikitech218]

@@ThrottleStopRacing The same applies for doing electrical connectors as well.

[@1973406]

A double flare is not necessary for a carbureted fuel line because the pressure is low at 7psi or less. Brake lines however need a double flare because of the high pressure generated in the system when you slam the brakes if need be, could exceed 1400psi!

[@johnmilner7603]

If I was making many flares I’d invest in the 1 arm bandit flare maker that comes with various dies.

[@68mediagroup34]

What’s the thread size for fuel pump

[@Falloutmark505]

Which brand engine stand is that?

This guy is funny.

@@ThrottleStopRacing I'm dressing a 283 for my c10 and I'm getting a headache. Came with power packs and iron 4bbl with a non tagged 4gc. Watched a good amount of your videos while I'm saving for parts. Not sure what way to go with it.

[@sjaywjayw70]

I went with inverted flare, and everyone is saying I have to use AN fittings. So why not use inverted flare? Short term failure?

[@ThrottleStopRacing]

If it is 26Degrees you need to use AN fittings (expensive).

[@ridelikerich8673]

Lol so you wanna make a fuel line huhhh 👌🏽

[@ThrottleStopRacing]

actually I made two, the first was not good enough.

[@frugalsolutions]

Seems like a guesstimation of where to start and where the bend will end. I wonder if a close hanger would help mach it up. I tried making this once and ended up cutting off the other end and using a rubber hose, this job will piss you off and most likely have multiple attempts.

[@ThrottleStopRacing]

I always end up with a couple of false starts. Tube is cheap, keep working at it, it gets better.

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

Also what size and year is that small block?

[@ThrottleStopRacing]

Casting number says it is from 1970 to 1980 350 which we punched out to a 383

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

@@ThrottleStopRacing nice! Gotta love those old 350s! And 383, also nice! What's it going in..? I have to check Out more of your videos since I only discovered you a couple of weeks ago. I'm 34 and I've been wrenching on pretty much everything since I was a kid, so it's nice to see some professionalism on KZbin!

@@ericsfishingadventures4433 This video is the 19th in a series on a build on a 1964 C10 Pickup with lots of plans (the engine being the first). If you go to my channel and look at playlists that is how I have organized the videos. Thanks Glenn

great video. Can you please provide some info on tools/parts, would appreciate it!

Which tools were you interested in?

@@ThrottleStopRacing flaring tool kit and bender. You guys made it look so easy...
