1972 350 Fuel lines
I noticed some cracking in my fuel lines that feed from the bottom of the fuel pump to the fuel lines that are mounted on the frame underneath my AC.
My question is what are the names of these 2 fuel lines that connect from the fuel pump to 2 lines that are attached to the right side frame? thes seem to be made of rubber and are only about 6 inches long each. They are the 2 hoses that directly connect to the bottom of the fuel pump.
I want to make sure to order the correct ones and my manual doesn't give the name/part # to order.
Thanks for the Help

Do not use normal car parts store hose. It will kink and restrict fuel flow. Every Corvette parts supplier has the correct molded hose on their website. Knowing the original GM part number is of little use, the parts are long discontinued or superseded.

Hi b,
I agree that you really don't want to use pieces of hose from the auto store.
Each hose has 2 pretty tight bends in it, and the bends want to close down the hose if not pre-formed.
Look for "Molded 'S' Hoses - Fuel Line to Pump". You'll need one for both the supply and return line. 2 Sizes.

Alan

Mike is correct. The S hose on the fuel line is molded. Second, smaller diameter hose is for the return line.
