| Post subject: | Fuel Line Size |
I have a leak in the hard fuel line that goes from back (fuel tank) to front (fuel pump) on my 1973 Dart Swinger. I know that there is a choice between a 5/16 and a 3/8 size line. I'm trying to id the size of the line so I can order the right one. A few questions: 1) Does anyone know what size it might be (3/8 or 5/16)? 2) If I am measuring the line, do I measure the outside or inside diameter of the line to determine what size I need? 3) I was looking at paddock.com to order some pre-bent fuel lines...any comments or suggestions on their product? Thanks |

I could be mistaken, but I believe all the fuel lines on A bodies were 5/16". All my various a-bodies have been that size, in any case. I've had /6 to 400s in them and never had a 'fuel starvation' problem with 5/16" line. I did a google search for pre-bent lines and found several sources for them for these cars....I have never ordered anything from the paddock, some people really like them. sb |

Inline Tube seems to make the best stuff if you're looking for pre-bent lines. 5/16" is factory for most everything except high performance big block cars. |

5/16" is correct for your car. Only a giant engine or one with extreme forced induction would require 3/8". |
