Re: Fuel line replacement

Thanks for all the information guys, really appreciate it.
At the end of the day me or my son-in-law are not mechanics by a long way.
The car has been off road now for over 6 years, mainly due to life getting in the way, obviously the pandemic didn’t help. We originally brought the car with a 318 ...

Re: Fuel line replacement

Thanks for the replies.
After discussion we decided to opt out of going down the EFI route.
So my next question is about installing an electric fuel pump and regulator. What’s best
Also what style of phenolic spacer should we go with on a dual plane intake with a Holley 4160.

Re: Fuel line replacement

Hi Chaps,
Maybe in the future we may look at going down the route of installing EFI. So want to make sure that what we do is more than adequate to accommodate a fuel pump, etc.

Fuel line replacement

Morning All,
Firstly a Happy New Year to everyone and your families.
I’m looking at replacing the fuel line on our 72 Duster. Could someone point me in the right direction as to what to use, whether it be solid or flexible and what are your preferred choices.

Re: OIL COOLER LINES

Hi Derek,
I was referring to the replacing of the existing cooler lines from the tranny to radiator, as ours are all creased.

OIL COOLER LINES

What would be the best replacement for the Transmission oil cooler lines.
I've been looking at braided flexible lines with AN fittings.

Re: Engine advice

So we've had a machine shop have a look at the complete engine, stripped down. They have come back with a figure of just over 2k for labour only for the machine work, that they say is needed.

*Regrind crank
*Re-bore and hone piston bores
*Clean block
*Pressure test cylinder heads
*Fit new valve ...

Re: Bad over heating problem

Thanks guys for all the advise.
Me and my son in law have had a long debate today.
We’ve now come to the decision once and for all to remove the entire engine and strip down, get the block and heads checked and any machine work done as necessary.
The car needs a complete re-wire and the engine bay ...

Re: Bad over heating problem

Thanks for the advice I will start looking to see if anything comes to light.
Any ideas as to why the power steering fluid went frothy and turned bright pink or could have just been the extreme heat within the engine bay
