The fuel line on my 85 GT has a slight hole in it, and I want to replace it. It's a hard fuel line, and I want to know if I can replace it with a 3/8'' rubber fuel line, and what fittings I will need on either end to do this. The car is an 85, so it should have a mechanical pump, and I think I should only need around 3 feet of rubber to replace the hard line. Has anyone done this? Is it a bad idea to replace the hard line with a rubber one?
Another thing is accessing the other side of the fuel line. I can't see the mech fuel pump, and it looks like I would have to remove a bunch off of the front of the motor to get at it. I only have the weekend to do this, and I need the car on Monday. Can I splice in a rubber line to patch the area with the hole in it? Does anyone have any pictures of how it goes together or where the fuel pump is on the motor?
