Was that a two piece line or one piece?

Two piece. Pump to filter & filter to carb.

Ordered in stainless....:headbang:

That's what I chose too. Figured it would look better for longer. I ended up only using the pump to filter piece since the other part didn't work with my edelbrock carb.

What was wrong with it????

The edelbrock carb does not have the proper flared inlet to let the stock style line compress and seal against the body. It basically has an open threaded hole with no taper, which makes the fuel line leak because it has nothing to compress against.

I'm 100% sure that you can get the proper pipe adapters to make it work, I just couldn't find any locally and never got back around to trying. You'll need a 'standard inverted flare adapter'. I bet Inline Tube has them.

Here is the edlebrock style inlet:

here is stock style- not the best pic but it's a compression fitting:

Ok, I have a Carter competition carb....made before the company was taken over.
