Anybody have any pics or ideas for a foreword mounted 390 with center hung dual feed. I would rather not use much rubber fuel lines but I will if I have to.

Installed the carb with new bowls, you can see where the lines are kinked I fired up to make sure float bowls were not leaking.

My 12 year old installing the carb, but you can see how the line is all over the valve cover. I am going to go buy so 3/8 line and see what I can do. Think I'll wait for the kid to help me.

You can buy a Dual Feed Line from Jegs Or just about any speed shop.

Don't know much about Holley carbs, would the dual feed line hit the valve cover? Jay 6155.

I took all the useful parts of my 570 Avenger, turned my 390 in to a duel feed with quick change secondaries. Well tue fuel line just as Jay said was all over the Valve Cover. So I think I am going to have to get creative with some hardline and a fuel block. Very little room between and under the elect. Choke.

I will mock up thee carb today and get some good pics of what I am dealing with. My best be may be going over the top of the valve cover or something. I am going all hard line so there will be more clearance but I think I can make it under choke, we will see. If hot rodding was easy everybody would do it.

SO far I have this


Tomorrow I need to get a elbow for the secondaries to clean it up a bit, and a elbow for the PCV and line for the vacuum advance, plus trim fuel line and add filter

I hate to tell you this, get rid of all that rubber hose. It is a fire hazard waiting to happen.

Buy some 3/8 brake line, inverted flare ends for the carb fuel fittings and bend the lines where you want them and make a small 1 inlet, 2 outlet log to feed them. Put it a few inches ahead of the carb. It really will not take you that long, you can make it.
