Removed the old cracked rubber fuel line @ fuel pump...
Notice cracking of rubber hose...
Added a temp rubber hose that dropped down below engine
Strong, but thin, nylon string
Tied a knot in the end and fed it into the fuel line (from the rear of the car)
At the front, we held a shop vac on that temp. hose extension, and...
We sucked the string through the fuel line!
We attached a small gun cleaning patch, soaked in Gumout, to the end of the string and pulled it through many times until the line was clear & clean.
Just an interesting note: appears to be a 'cushion' between the rear chassis crossmember and the fiberglass body.
One on each side. Looks to be factory installed.
air cleaner
Rear carrier stampings
Difficult to read...
Added some chalk...
The rear carrier appears to be a 4:11 posi from a '68 Corvette
Noticed that one of the half shafts bolts was loose
A good solid day. Feels good to know the fuel line is clear & clean, prior to us installing a new fuel tank next week.
