Fuel Vapor line SS350

[abiddle]

I see a fuel and vapor hose kit for sale at Ricks, but I think I might be missing a metal line between the fuel filter and the vapor line. Pics of what I have are attached. I have an NOS fuel filter to install, but my vapor hose is cut. I would like to fix this, but I don't know what its supposed to look like and where can I get the best reproduction parts? (I would buy used or nos, but I assume both are going to be impossible to find.)

As always...Thanks!

I found the metal vapor line in the trunk. I had an A-Ha moment after looking at fuel line pictures, I already had something that looks like this. So I just need the vapor hose kit. And if anyone has pics on the proper way the hose to vapor lines are supposed to appear at the connections please, that would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Here's a picture of my 1969 L48 with the lines installed.

Boston14, that motor looks great, how soon till it gets dropped in?

Boston14 - are you putting the original style air cleaner on your L48, and have you found the correct crankcase breather hose? I'm still trying to figure out where to find this.

I had the same style "plug" in mine only at the rear exiting the rail. The rubber had been disconnected from the fuel sender, the metal lead removed then sealed with bathroom caulk. The seal to the rubber hose was the insertion of a self-tapping screw and left as is.

When I replaced the tank and sender I wondered if there would be any fuel in the line. I put the rubber end into a container and shot air through the front and sure-enough the line was full of fuel. It wouldn't light so it was stale but since the front part of the system was intact fuel had been keeping the line full all those years. I let the line air dry a few hours before hooking the hose to the new sender and starting the car up.

So I would recommend that you disconnect your plug and the tank end and chase any fluid out that you find, why contaminate the fuel in the tank. Collect the contents and look for rust or other particles that may cause you issues down the road.

I second this question - does anyone know where to get a used/ repro breather hose/ and fitting?( valve cover to air cleaner)All I have found thus far are the 90* fittings that are incorrect for the L48  -  that and a stovepipe(exhaust to air cleaner)

Chris, I posted on this: http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=13686.0

The last post was that hose, I believe. Would like confirmation if that is what you seek?

[crobjones2]

I am looking for the straight tubing piece that comes out of the valve cover and into the 90* hose

Did find a pic of my fuel return

Thanks Kolektor - Are the worm gear or spring type hose clamps proper on both ends of the vapor and fuel lines?
