fuel line repair
Can you use the 120psi hose and clamps on these 60psi fuel systems. Obviously I would prefer all hardline, but I had to replace a couple of bad lines at the fuel pump, and I used fuel injection rubber line and FI clamps. Any chance I'll have any issues with this repair?

I wouldn't trust it, but then that's just me.
I saw a friend's 66 BB Chevelle burn to the ground because of a rubber fuel line failure and that was only ~7psi.
When it comes to fuel or oil a bare minimum should be steel braided lines, the real kind not the ones with hose clamps on the ends.

Yea, I would prefer to run the original setup, but I had an issue with the check valve line/s going bad and had to replace it, and I absolutly COULD NOT get the entire assembly up through the frame like it was originally installed, and it was too long to run any other way.
I had some rubber line on my C4 set up for many years, but it operated around 40+.
I just wondered if anyone else had any rubber line/clamp set ups

All of the lines are plastic If it weren't for having to put in the check valve line and y fitting, I could have had something made up that would work right, but just not enough room.
I ordered a new check valve line assembly this morning, and will have to take to someone with a lift to see if it can be installed through the frame.
