Need advice on installing new fuel line

Are you sure this is your problem?I ran 70 passes last summer with my 410 sb in my 66 Dart with 5/16 fuel line,never cut out once.What type of ignition box are you running?

It doesn't hurt to change it out to 3/8 line and sender,but you might have other electrical problems.Also,has your dizzy been re-curved?

Nope, not really sure that is the problem. And you are right, a 5/16 line should be fine. The current 5/16 line is over 40 years old, and it did sit for a while. Just want to make sure it is not the fuel line. It didn't cost a whole lot. Wish I would have changed it when the car was gutted.

However, I have the 3/8 line and it is going in. I have an FBO ignition system. Basically an upgraded version of the standard Mopar ignition system. The dizzy was recurved to run 16 initial and 32 total without the vacuum. I've run it with both the vacuum hooked up and without, runs about the same.

If this doesn't fix the problem, I've got an Accel 300+ CDI box sitting on a shelf which I may give a try. If that doesn't do it, I'm going to have to make some more posts for suggestions.

So, right now I'm looking for the easiest way to install the fuel line. However, I'm all ears for suggestions on my engine issues, and thanks for the reply.
