From this photo it looks like it comes in along the oil pan. But I just do not know how it flows under the engine. IMG_0329.jpg

I decided this is how the lines route on the front of the engine.

The supply line across the front of the AC generator bracket, and the return line between the two.

They go below the engine and route near the trans cooler lines. But I have not determined how the metal lines route under the engine and where they meet the rubber lines.

I had a 3/8 line for fuel and a 1/4 inch line for return. But I could turn the rubber line on the fuel pump by hand while it was clamped on. I switched it out for a 5/16 line that feels much more secure. But I dont know if that is correct and am keeping it yet.

I would have thought that 3/8" lines would have been too large for the non-performance cars back in the day.

It is a little annoying because I have a small supply of the original color coded clamps that my grandpa stole from the GM plant decades ago. But I do not have one to fit a 5/16 line.

Guess Gpa was taking a queue from Johnny Cash?  GM wouldn't miss just one little piece! Ha!
