Default Fuel line replacement

I am in the process of a frame up reconstruction and I need to put new fuel lines on the frame. What exactly do I need to buy and how many.

Model year? Some years have a return line, other years do not.

easiest way is to buy the pre-made tubes.

right but what are they called and how many do I buy. They don’t come in a kit like the break lines do. I’m new to this and confused by this one. Everything else has been pretty straight forward.

It’s a 1977, I need to know what they are called, and how many to buy. As it stands right now I have file lines running down both sides of the frame. But that’s about the extent of my knowledge on this subject.

The line(s) on the passenger side are the fuel supply, and if there is a second one it is the return line.
You should be able to see the lines attach at the fuel pump to verify if you have two lines

The drivers side line is the vapor line that runs up to the charcoal canister

FWIW: fuel and tranny cooler lines for AT are on the passenger's side of the frame. Brake and fuel vapor lines are on the driver's side.

You may want to purchase the assembly instruction manual and service manual for your car. Both could help you with the project.

Default Thank you

This was a forced frame up build. I was looking for a project car I could learn on when I bought this one. The previous owner neglected to tell me that it had been in an accident and the frame was bent so I had to buy a new frame... I am definitely learning now.
