    Fuel Lines - '64

    I was trying to install a correct Carter AFB on my '64 (300 hp) tonight. The repo steel lines I purchased are about 3/8" too short - if I could extend the fitting out of the carb this much, everything would fit fine. I am thinking about using a brass nipple/coupling to accomplish the fix. Anyone encounter this problem before? No amount of bending or tweeking would get everything to line up.

    I suspect the pipe is incorrect - either the wrong part or it doesn't met the OE dimension specs.

    You may have the pipe for a '63 L-76 (3834124), which is different than '63 L-75 (3838598). Check against your '64 AIM. I believe the '64 L-75 part should be the same as '63 L-75. The '63 L-76 part is different because it does not have the phenolic spacer under the carb.

    I think you should discuss this with the vendor and obtain the proper pipe rather than attempting to jury rig a solution.

      You have the correct carb. Do you also have the correct intake manifold and spacers on the carb. If any of these parts are not correct the fuel line will not fit.

        Yes. Stock intake, and all 3 pieces inbetween it and the carb (gasket, black spacer, alum. heat shield).
