Clean looking engine bay as well as engine. What is the flexible braided line for, your power steering? If you wanted, you could always use something like that to go from your inner fender to your fuel pump as well as from your fuel pump up to your carburetor and make your own lines yourself. I just did something similar and used Earl's brand of braided/nylon fuel line as well as their hose fittings and a Holley inline fuel filter in between for better "peace of mind".

Any reason why?

 

[GradyStang]

No real reason other than that’s what I want. The look mostly. I had the a stainless line from the old 289 I removed but don’t quite reach without a decent length of rubber on there.

Fair enough. Do you have any fuel filters in your car? If you have the standard 1965 fuel pump with the filter built into it then that works out well. I have an aftermarket Holley brand fuel pump and they recommend running a fuel filter between the pump and the carburetor, especially if you don't have one before the pump. So I bought the following hose, hose fittings and fuel filter that I placed between the pump and the carburetor. If you don't have a fuel filter, you should definitely consider one, which if you buy hard lines then you'll either have to cut the fuel line kit that you buy and install one, or make your own hard lines and put one in instead.

I want to link a page from Summit like you did here to show a part. I do I do that???

I think, and I could be incorrect, that it also depends on the link you're using as well? I've tried a few links that are longer like from eBay or Amazon that don't want to work nicely like the previous one above and just show the blue link without any picture to it. Not sure why... 🤷‍♂️

I was considering using one of the SD or other brands of pre-made fuel lines but I went a different route for a couple of reasons. First, I'm not a huge SD fan and have had very little luck with any of their products. Second, I don't have a 1965 style fuel pump with the filter in it, nor do I have a fuel filter before the pump, so I needed to put one in between the pump and the carburetor. Of which, I figured buying the pre-made line and cutting it to add a fuel filter was a bit counterintuitive. So I ended up buying some Earl's braided/nylon hose along with their fittings and a Holley fuel filter to make up my own fuel lines. No leaks, looks pretty nice and didn't cost too much.

There have been a lot of replies so my original question has gotten lost in the shuffle
I asked if there was a stainless steel hard line from pump to an eddy 1406 carb. The eddy inlet is on the passenger side.
I believe I have the pieces necessary now and will post the links and pics this week once installed.
thanks.

It's hard to tell from the picture because most of it is blocked from the air cleaner being in the way, but if I'm not mistaken the 4100 Auto Lite carburetor had the inlet on the front passenger side of it. So, with the kit that Woodchuck mentioned above, I'm thinking you'd be fairly close, or you could even bend it some to make it work. These "what if" questions were what made me just do up the fuel lines on my own instead of worrying about buying a kit and then potentially hacking it up. That and I needed to add a fuel filter in between the pump and the carburetor. Good luck!

You are quite right sir. View attachment 841776

Always a first time for everything 😂

As promised I posted my solution with part numbers and pics for those looking to install a stainless steel hard line to and Edelbrock carb without flaring and very little bending.
I posted this as a new thread for easy of searching later. See link below.

Gen 1 289/302 stainless hard gas line that fits...

I inquired about this and a few others as well so as promised here are the parts that worked for me. I know there are many ways to run fuel to a carb but I wanted a stainless hard line so that's what I got. I wanted stainless for longevity, safety, and appearance. I'm sure this can be done...

I'd be a bit hesitant with having your fuel line essentially resting on the upper radiator hose as shown in the 6th picture of your post. I actually had to Google it myself, but vapor lock can occur at as little as 100-120° and with the temperature of the engine/engine bay already... I wouldn't want to add to the issue. Especially since steel or metal will radiate heat and pick it up from resting on the rubber upper radiator hose. Good luck!
