Holley 1850-5/1580
I have a Holley 1850-5/1580 carb on my car.
I was going to run a new fuel line. Replace the rubber with stainless steel.
One problem, the stainless steel line is designed to enter the carb on the right side whereas the the carb intake is on the right side.
Is there a line that will run from the fuel filter to the carb on the left side or do I need to bend a line to fit?
I have 68' 327/350. How does that carb fare with other carbs?
Thank you

Hi Swag,
I used this line from JEGs which worked out great for me on my '69 SBC and Holley 1805 (single fuel intake).
I wanted to upgrade to the full sized air cleaner with the dropped base, and this interfered with the fuel line that was already in place (looked like a custom/cobbled job).
The new one has an inline ceramic (supplemental) filter, but the big enabler was the banjo fitting to the carb that allowed for a tight 90 degree drop right out of the carb.
I still connected with a short hose to the existing fuel filter, and may upgrade that at some point, but I got the set-up that I was looking for by using this line.
I only have a before picture with the Air Cleaner off.
The after picture just shows what is visible with the Air Cleaner installed.

Thanks BergerBoy. Do you have a pic with the air filter off?
A while back, I got a chrome line that fits the standard engine and carb. Maybe I can use the chrome line to the fuel filter, then use what you have to route it to the fuel intake on the carb.
Instead of attaching the fuel filter to the engine mount, the previous owner used rubber hose and just laid it against the engine.
Do you know if there is a flex hose that would do the trick too?
Thank you!

I just needed a short length of hose from the stock filter to the inlet of the new pipe at the supplemental filter.
