Pre-bent Fuel Line

[speedbanana1977]

I bought a pre-bent fuel line for my 1969 Coronet 2-door post car. It shipped with a big U bend about in the center. Seems like the only way is to bend it out mostly straight then insert it at the rear wheel well first and wiggle it into position behind the back seat. Then get under the car and bend it back to go along the rocker and through the torsion bar crossmember. Any tips or tricks on how to install it? Thanks in advance.

Yes, exactly as you described.
That's how I did it on my 67.

Also helps if you kept the OE so you can tweak the new one to be the same first!

Excellent advice. It's what I did with each of my lines.

I straightened my lines out. I recall the rear wheel tub was the tough part. Have to remove the tire at a minimum.
Last one I did with the rear axle out of the car.

Successfully installed the stainless line this weekend. It was a struggle until I undid the exhaust hangers and put the front end of the line through the torsion bar crossmember. Then it basically snapped into place! Thanks again for the tips.

Forgot the exhaust gets in the way too.
Sort of like trying to get the passenger brake line installed when the engine and master cylinder are already installed.
