Fuel line from pump to carb
«

I am trying to find a fuel line that runs from the fuel pump to the carb .Engine is a 440 I have tried all of the online sources but have come up empty so far.I am also wanting to get something that mates up better than a rubber hose. see pic below as this is what feeds the carb. Any suggestions? Also I really don't like the rubber line being so close to the distributor.
I was starting the car today and my brother in law stopped me and said that the fuel was leaking . I checked and had two leaks very close to the distributor.

You have at least two choices. With the last car I built I bent up some 3/8" steel tubing and flared the ends. I believe the fittings were Goodrich. You can buy the repro tubing but have to use clamped rubber pieces at the filter and pump. It's for a stock job. For the Cuda, I used steel braided line as mentioned below. You have to buy the ends and cut the hose. It's a fiddly job getting the ends on but it looks the best IMHO. Here's a pic of the braided hose on the Cuda although things have changed a little with an electric fuel pump and alternator and rad upgrade this summer.

I have used the Holley Dual feed line , it has a flare end on it so you can just run steel line right into the dual feed line , it is also short enough that you can bend it slightly & get around the dist easily
