Default Pump to carb hard line.

I have a friend with a 66 GTO W/ 69 GTO 400 in it with a late model Quad with the long filter housing on it.
Anyone happen to have a good part number for a pre bent hard line for such an application?
A little tweakin is not an issue. Just eliminating some rubber line installed by previous owner.

Thanks.
Doug

Assuming that the 69 has the correct fuel pump on it just go to the Ames site or call them.
They list two different hard lines for a 69 4bbl model.
One which runs to the carb on the drivers side of the Stat housing, and one that runs on the passenger side.

I make my own. Takes patience and practice. I go to parts store and buy 2 of the longest pieces they have. Give me 4 potential pieces to make one good one. I have several benders, they are not all created equal. I have the very best flaring tool!
Just made one last week for friends 71 C10.

unless you're running all stock parts (eg: original 69 fuel pump, original 69 intake, and original 69 carb) I'd suggest you make your own line.

I looked at Ames. Besides originality. What determines passing thermostat housing on Pass side or drivers side. Do brackets? Water pump? Other stuff? Will either work if not concerned with factory installed?

sometimes the fuel line was routed on one side versus the other.
Are you using a post-1969 deep fuel pump?
Are you using a pre-1972 thermostat housing?

just grab a flaring tool, a cutter, and buy a piece of fuel line - take thirty or so minutes to make it, and call it done.
