M code Fuel Line

Post by CSavaglio »

Does anyone know if anybody is producing a preformed fuel pump to fuel rail fuel line for the 3x2 motors? I have a 4bbl 63 thunderbird but I have factory 6bbl on my 59 Galaxie that came from a later Galaxie (with the galaxie stepped carb pads, galaxie air cleaner, and galaxie carbs.. 2436/2347) but the fuel rail should be in the same location. I currently have one I formed myself, but it's not as cleanly done as the preformed one on my 63.

I've gotten prebent lines from Right Stuff Tubing, Inline Tube and a few other places, but I can't remember the others off the top of my head as that was back in 2005-2006. A quick Google search for suppliers and catalogs should yield a few sources.

The issue I'm finding is that everyone lists the 4bbl line but not the 6bbl...I'll reach out to the usual suspects and see if anyone is still doing it. I didn't see anything in the t-bird catalogs except the 4bbl one.

Thank you

The correct 3/8" line is produced by Inline Tube.

It's the same line for both 62 and 63.
