Fuel system

[Coronet 14]

Looking to replace fuel system on my 1972 Coronet 318 2 barrel carb. New tank and lines. Want to upgrade to 3/8. line from tank to fuel pump and from fuel pump to carb. The plan is to give the engine more power. I need to do fuel system first. Are the line ends the same on the 5/16 lines and the 3/8 lines where thery connect to fuel pump and carb. Since the engine will have to wait a while for more power

they will be different size but easy fix is just get a ( AN ) reducer for the pump side and for the fuel tank side go the bigger fuel sender unit

No they are not the same. 5/16 is 5/16 and 3/8 is 3/8.

Plan your system for where you want to end up.You can NEVER have too big a fuel pump when using a regulator and maybe a return line.

I've got this feeling that you look at threads and think "hmmm.... where can I throw a picture of my badass ride at" :thinker:









at least that's what I'd do if I had your car :headbang:

 

[benno440]

ha you noticed that too

Unless you plan to make a lot of HP I'd save yourself the trouble and just replace the 5/16" line if the original is damaged. If no damage then leave it there.

I'm with Meep-Meep, you can run quite a bit of hp with 5/16 line. Spend your money on go fast stuff :jerk: til you need more fuel.

Since it's my only old car,what else would I have pictures of??
My opinions might not always be right,,,,,,,,,but they're mine.:icon_kidra:
