Pretty new fuel lines
Had some time last night and decided to fab up and run some new fuel lines. By the way if anyone is in need of the old ones speak up.
Old dirty lines
New Pretty lines
Whatcha think?

In one word - AWESOME and pretty (ok, two words)! 
You have a time estimate, any dimensions, or a parts list to make it easier for a first-timer? Those fittings scare me!
Oh, and is that big of a curve necessary, or can you shorten it?
Anyways, I'd appreciate it. Looks like a good project for the future.

Thanks.
No that big of curve probably isn't necessary, but it cuts down on chance of kinks and gives plenty of flex room for engine movement. Timewise probably 4 hours (with ALOT of beer breaks), could probably do it in two now, but remember I don't have any A/c or emissions equip to work around. I'll try and get a parts list together later.

Nice job, looks awesome!!! I need to do something like that to mine. Please post the parts list when you get a chance.

All my parts were purchased from Summit and they are size 6an (and be forwarned this conversion wasn't cheap, I think I've got around $175 in it).
Each hose is little less than 5ft so you need 10 ft of hose.
(1) RUS-632070 (10ft of hose)
You need two sets of of fittings (for a total of 4 fittings) that convert GM fuel lines to 6an.
(2) ACC-74721 (be aware these are for later L98s that have the same size feed and return fuel lines)
You need (3) 45 degree 6an fittings. One off each line at the fuel rail and one off the fitting a the fuel filter (I used a straight at the fuel filter because thats what I had but the 45 angle would have worked much better.
(3) SUM-220686 45 degree fittings
You need one straight fitting to connect to the return line on the under car fitting.
(1) SUM-220690 straight fitting
You also need some misc stuff like zip ties, conduit (for where it contacts rubber hoses) and I needed metal strapping for holding the lines away from the headers.
Fabbing these lines is actually pretty simple, all you really need is a cut off tool and some wrenches.
Any questions feel free to PM me.

Are your lines high pressure lines? I had a braided line on my 74 Blazer for several years only to have it self destruct. It was like a seive, fuel was spraying everywhere. And this was a carb setup with the stock fuel pump running off the block. Could not have been more than 8-10 psi.
Our cars are upwards of 40+ psi.

So, you could technically run these all the way back to the fuel pump register unit eh? Interesting!
I tore my old terrible lines out long ago and wondered about running these braided hoses in place of fabbing up another set of tubing for lines.
