Re: [Chrysler300] G Fuel Line between carbs X2

[GERALD OLSON <olson77@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Richard, If stainless is not mandatory, Go to any
parts store and buy a 32" steel line. Make 2 dog leg
bends about 3 1/2"-4" on both ends. Take your drivers
side carb just far enough off the 4 pins and drop in
the line on both ends and set the carb back on the 4
pins. tighten up both ends before you re-tighten the 4
carb nuts. It fits straight as an arrow on top of the
balance tube and under the bell crank. If you tighten
right, it won't touch the rams either. Jerry
