You are going to want to kill me for even mentioning a GM product on here but.....I have possibly came up with a solution for all of us running dual feed Holley's on the big blocks. I ordered a fuel line kit for a 68-69 Camaro with a factory dual feed Holley carb setup which uses 3/8" feeds that are 8 5/8" apart like the single metering block carbs are, into a brass block in the center. It has a 3/8" outlet, which I bought a 3/8" to 5/16" conversion fitting for fixing that. I also picked up the factory fuel line for a 68 runner with the carter single feed line that runs along the valve cover, which I am going to trim and bend to run into the brass distribution block. I have all the parts on order, and will post pictures hopefully by the weekend to show the final product. Its a bit more expensive, but it will look very factory I believe. It seems all the fuel logs offered run right into the distributor and it sure beats the AN fuel log that's anodized red and blue on it now and rubber fuel line. I know there was a guy that used to make the fuel line for this setup, but I called him last week and he is retired from it due to arthritis. Wish me luck! :headbang:
 
I've seen so many people posting on different forums wondering how to make the dual feed lines look stock. Figured I'd share my project with those who have had the same issues with very little answers regarding fixing them. :)
 
here is an update.....waiting on fuel line to go from pump to carb block......looks good so far! Had to bend the 3/8" lines on a slight angle with my bender but nothing crazy so far! Bought a 3/8" to 5/16" fitting to convert to regular mopar size lines by fuel block.

So I tossed the chevy lines to the side...they fit like crap and ran right into the valve cover. Made my own up with a tubing bender and used the original line from filter to carter carb. Had to trim it and bend the 90 degree right bend to make it run right into my fuel block I bought. Used all 5/16" lines, so I had to buy the fittings to convert the Holley from 3/8" inlets to 5/16" inlets. Here's the results!
