Original rubber fuel hose replacements?
Can anyone give some idea's of where all the rubber fuel hoses are on my 1985 bone stock L98? I realize most are metal lines, but I'm having as many rubber fuel lines replaced by my mechanic as I can for preventative maintenance. They are all the original hoses on it now and I don't want any surprise leaks if I can help it.

The rubber hoses are made onto the lines and have been specially compressed and sealed to them. They are not serviceable. The lines would have to be removed and taken to a company who could re-attach/crimp them so the supply line...as least... can handle the fuel pressure.
The only rubber hose you can replace is the vapor return hose going to the top of the fuel sending unit.
Also there are rubber hoses made into the fuel line on the lower front right area of the engine.
