Fuel line mounting in engine bay


Recommended Posts

Here's hoping it fits! 16GA sheet metal, M5 rivnut and some cutting/bending. Just waiting on some longer M5 screws

Success!!

I had to bend a new 3/8" fuel line since I kinked my first one, and I need to find some sae hardware to attach the P clamp to the frame, but at least this section is done.

I still have to reroute the ignition wires, they're a jumble. I suspect the PO bought a set that is too long based on the excess wire. I also have to tighten the compression fittings on the vapor separator.

Then I can get back to what started all this.. Replacing the power steering pump.

I like that bracket and attaching the line to the coil bracket looks good. :nabble_smiley_good:

Previously I added a photo from my 86 showing the frame clamp as being a single. This seemed odd so when at the jy this weekend I looked at another 460. It had a dual line clamp as seen below. Not sure if mine came with a single or was changed out by a PO. Just wanted to add this for accuracy.

Thanks! I with there were bullnose in the pic and pull around me, it's all 87 and up from what I've seen. I think the P clamp will be sufficient once I find some hardware to secure it with. I'm also going to wrap the fuel lines in some sort of heat shield. As it stands there's only about 3" between them and the manifold and that makes me a little uncomfortable.

Imagine, my whole fuel pump sticks out right there! 😯

Jim put me onto this stuff to shield lines with. I have some of it right next to a header and it is doing fine.
