Rubber fuel line size?

I am running to the parts store tonight after work, but I forgot to check what size the rubber fuel line is that runs between the hard fuel line and the carb on my '72 with a 350. I assume this is pretty standard. Can someone give me the size?

Thanks!

are you sure you want to use a rubber fuel line???? after i have heard of many corvettes going up in flames i made sure that i removed the rubber line that the previous owner had installed and i bought a steel line. Now i feel a little safer. One less problem in need to worry about. just my .02

Over the years they get cut for whatever reason. A new steel line is around $30ish. It will probably take 3/8" rubber fuel line to connect what you have.

Yeah, I am going to work on a more permanent solution, but this will get me going in the meantime.

--> 3/8" will work for the majority of delivery connections. 5/16" for vapor recovery, IIRC.
