I got it with a friend a month ago (recently, as stated in the title) as an investment. It sat for 20 yrs, so me and a buddy had to do a few things before showing or selling it.

It's a gorgeous machine, inside and out. Congratulations. But dude, your careless gas line shortcut freaks a lot of our wisest C3 brethren out and will drive up insurance rates for all of us if it burns down the house.

Thanks for thinking it is MY shortcut. Like I said, I got it recently. It sat for 20 yrs and I had several things to do. I made a list and prioritized it. Since I'm NOT regularly driving the car yet, the filter and line are lower on that list. Besides, you do realize there's only 5 PSI in that line?

Nothing wrong with rubber gas lines on a carbed car. (low psi) BUT, if your going to use rubber lines, use marine-rated A1 fuel lines. Route it properly and make it look nice so your not slammed by bored keyboard jockeys.
