I installed the 69/70 fuel line in my '68 today. Just some minor adjustments needed for it to fit. The reason I used the 60/70 was that it routes along the rocker and then up inside the wheel well before it turns to the tank. With the subframe connectors on there the fuel line could not follow the original path. I'm kinda shocked that TCP does not notch the subframe connectors for the fuel line.

Here is it before it went in, I'll have to snap a few now that its in.

It runs down the rocker, the two holes in the middle right of the picture are where it used to cross over.

Here you can see how it runs along the inner wheel well

The top of the wheel well (the two holes in the frame rail are from when I was going to run a rear sway bar), I should have filled them, probably just plug them now

Here is where it crosses over the frame rail

very nice, I like that.

I like that. Would there be a problem if the car has traction bars? I have full frame connectors plus the bars on Trouble.

The only place it may be close is the front spring mount, thats where it makes it turn. I can snap a picture of that area if you need on. I cant recall how the front of the under rider bars mount at the front. The line is right near the front mount bolt.

Which fuel line did you use? The one for a car with a rear sway bar or one without? I have to do this, too, to clear the subframes and traction bar.

69 big block, I dont think they ever asked about the sway bar. I'll dig up the receipt and give you the PN

You were correct, it does state on the packing list W/O sway bar. It says 69/70 V8 W/O sway bar. Mustangs Unlimited Part Number MUF1009S 02. I believe it was $89.95, which was actually cheaper than the 68 piece!

Thanks!

Forgot to ask--is the line 5/16" or 3/8"?

I agree John.

You guys and your "69"s...

Okay, we tried to put the line in yesterday. It's fine except once it gets past the wheelwell to go up by the fuel tank. It doesn't seem like there's enough room back there to accomodate the line well enough. Sure would appreciate some pictures of what anyone has done at that end of the line.

Fast68back · « **Reply #16 on:** June, 30, 2009, 03:57:07 PM »

Where exactly, here is mine where it crosses over the frame rail

Laurie S. · « **Reply #17 on:** June, 30, 2009, 04:34:57 PM »

From that point onward to the fuel tank.

Fast68back · « **Reply #18 on:** June, 30, 2009, 04:59:02 PM »

Only other shot I have, I think it goes straight to the tank?

Laurie S. · « **Reply #19 on:** June, 30, 2009, 05:26:18 PM »

Thanks, I'll play with it some more this weekend and see if I can get it routed okay.

Laurie S. · « **Reply #20 on:** July, 04, 2009, 06:21:49 PM »

Okay, I see how it is routed now, but it's not fitting quite right. I need to put some gentle bends in the line to get it properly aligned along the rocker molding and up in the inner wheel well. What's the best way to do that? Bend it over my leg?

Fast68back · « **Reply #21 on:** July, 04, 2009, 06:31:02 PM »

I think I just used my hands to persuade it to bend.
