1976 5.0 Ford fuel line needed

[OldSkool]

Old Skool started and ran like a charm after installing the rebuilt carb today. Only problem is the fuel line split at the carb fitting and is now leaking. This is the fuel line from the pump to the carb. I will NOT take this out under any conditions with this issue!

I called the local parts folks at the after market vendors and found what I thought I would. They don't stock it.
What really set me back is the Ford dealer doesn't stock it nor did he have a vendor that that may have it. I have been using 1976 mustang model to order many parts that do not require marine rating for the engine but I'm stumped on this fuel line.

If anyone has this is line or can hook me up with a vendor that does I would really appropriate it. (May even see a little something in your mailbox at home from Anderson Forge.)

BTW Anderson Forge web site is under construction and I'll FYI everyone when its up and running. Every knife I've made in the last three month has been special order and there are 5 on the table right now with deposits attached. What a great hobby this has turned into.

All proceeds go to fund my boating addiction!:thumbsup:

Got a picture? steel line ? What fittings on it?

I bet this line has standard flare fittings. I think you could bend one up yourself. I wouldn't think there is anything "marine" specific.

LMC Truck has it for a 76 302. It's for a Bronco though if you think that would matter. Have you looked at JC Whitney?

There is a picture of my engine in my profile album. It runs from the carb to the pump and is steel. It is a double flair standard but not sure the size. looks like 3/8th but nit sure. I will check with the parts store to see if they have something I might be able to use but I would like to replace it with original if possible.

That's just steel line. You may have to cut it and use your old fittings. Easy to do if you want the double flare I think maybe you can rent the flaring tool from a parts store. very easy!!

Thanks to all. I would have flared a new one as suggested but I did find one at Green Bay propeller and marine. 29 dollars plus shipping so.
