1973 L82 - pump to carb fuel line

[James G.]

I am working on a 1973 L82 and the pump to carb fuel line was cut years ago, I have all of the pieces and compared to the reproduction I received from the customer the reproduction will not fit and is not the same as the original.


I have nice Ridgid Tubing benders in differing tubing sizes, so I also tried to bend my own, however you need at least 2 different radius 3/8" tubing benders, I do not have one tight enough for 2 of the bends required.

Does any one know of a good source for the 3/8 hardline?

I doubt that the 73 L-82 line is vastly different than the ones used on 72 350s with Quadrajets, and I've never had any problem with replacement lines. Where did you get yours?

I bought my Replacement line from Paragon a few years ago and it was a perfect fit. Even though I have an L48. You could try them.

Turns out it came from Ecklers.

Who bought it from someone else.

I have likely purchased mine from both Paragon and Corvette Central with no issues.
