'69 Back on the road
Purchased early December 2014 and immediately started changes. It had hooker style sidepipes – not my cup of tea – Great sound but LOUD and I prefer the look of factory. So I ordered and started install in January 2015. Well it was winter and I decided to install 5 Speed and A/C before summer. Things were going good until I got to putting dash back in. To many problems to list. Almost wore out with all the in/out of left and center panels. Here a few that happened after I thought I had everything in and working “Tach Cable Busted”, “Oil line to gauge broke”, “Vacuum Line pinched”, “Amp gauge quick working”, “Bulb(s) came loose”, etc. Each one of these were individual out/in sessions. 1st of May I purchase a ’63 Vette to drive for the summer as I had lost interest. About July/Aug I lifted ’69 Vette up on lift and let it sit until this past March. Finally got everything working and have put 200+ miles shake down drive(s) and had crossover pipe installed. Everything has stayed together 
Really Happy with outcome - Need to fit hardtop on one of these days..
Also did many many small changes/fixes.

hose
Hey Black Magic, if you can do me a favor and either measure or take a picture of how your fuel line rubber hose runs from the pump to the metal line. I have the same setup as you.
Thanks in advance

2 great looking Corvettes. Very nice make over on the '69. Factory side exhaust, A/C, and a 5 speed are great upgrades.
