Mr. Reed Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 On the front of my straight 8 engine there are two hard metal lines that go around the engine to the carburator from the fuel pump. There is a bracket that holds them together mounted on the thermostat housing but no other tie downs or anything. They are just hanging out. Is that how they routed them from the factory? Can anyone post a picture of your lines for comparison? thanks and much appreciated. I'll post mine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Reed Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 The lines by the valve cover. This is a picture of before I bought the car. Much work has been done since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Looks right to me. Many have lost the mounting bracket you have. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Reed Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Alrighty. Thanks Ben. Is the head of the engine supposed to be painted the same color the valve cover is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Stoneberg Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Yes on the color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Reed Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Thanks bill. This winter I want to get a lot of the brackets and small things painted black and have the head and valve cover painted the teal color. Under the car the trans pan looks like bare metal and oil pan is painted black. It's a fun car to work on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
