Default WTB Original LT1 fuel lines/block/carb to line bracket

Just what is says. I could use the original fuel block, the 2 lines/fittings that go the the Holley carb and an original bracket that mounts to the rh rear carb stud that holds the rear line.

Probably a long shot, but maybe someone pulled these years ago and do not need them?

For reference 1972 LT1.

Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,

I bought my 72 LT1 Fuel Line Set at Ecklers, part #A1756. It fit perfect, and works great. Only $49.99 for the set.

Good luck,

Steve

Hi Joe
Repop lines from any vender other than Richard fortifer is not the same. The regular vendors do sell a steel line but does not have the coating that is original as per assembly line. I got a set from Richard that is correct for my 68 L88, Paid 80.00 sold my repop stuff pretty fast
Also the repop brass tri angle fitting repops are different.
Hope this helps.
These items are visual so better to spend the money and get the right stuff. For internal or cannotbe seen then use aftermarket ie cams rods lifters etc.

Grant,
I did not know Richard sold these lines. Anyway, always seems to be a question on the color of the fuel block, but I did not get dinged too bad in judging, just always looking for the original stuff.
Just like that 72 windshield I need, so if you ever come across one, let me know.

Hey Joe
I am collecting parts for a 70 Lt1 so I would assume it would need the same fuel line as your 72, if so do you want me to contact Richard and try to make a deal on 2 sets
Let me know

Some blocks are raw, some are silver zinc plated and some are black zinc....depends on which parts supplier was providing the parts. I have a original GM block.....Email me for photos.....zeohsix "at" gmail "dot com" and I can send photos. That LT-1 appears to be a late production 72 by the choke pull off....most were silver zinc back when they were new. Those fuel lines are definitely reproduction!

That looks identical to a 69 Z28 block I have. I also cleaned up the brass block and it has the weatherhead stampings. I'd put that one back on.
