AGREED! Everyone's an expert. LOL. This is what I did (see pic). Removed the filter as the Edelbrock carb has a screen under each needle and seat. When I was a kid I had rubber fuel lines on 10 second drag cars. NHRA even allowed it, with an amount/length restriction. I think it was no more than 12" for the whole car with no restrictions on where you put it.

Yeppers! I'll be doing just this on my son's '76 when we get the 350 dropped in. Eventually will get the fancy metal line for the Holley but, for the time being, it's getting A1-grade stuff.

For those unfamiliar with the various fuel line options and ratings here ya go:
