ok, on my 454 that i just had to switch carbs on, im having a hard time finding the best way to hook up the fuel line to the new carb since i now have a two inch carb adapter.
I have my regulator on the fire wall which can come up about an inch but its still like an inch to an inch and a half away from the carb line. I was thinking about getting two 90 degree tubing from earls or whatever and putting one on and then the other one the oppisate so i makes it right about where i need it, (I THINK) but my problem is that the adapters i belive only come in females? is that right? Any other suggestions on how to set it up?
thanx

Make sure you line from the regulator to the carb is flexible. Sounds like its not currently. Even with solid motor mounts, the engine vibrates in relation to the chassis and a hard line won't cut it.
Thumb through a Summit, Jegs, or PAW catalog and you'll find exactly what you need. I suggest a braided AN line. You can order the fittings in whatever sizes you need and some AN braided fuel line. You can make your own fuel line from an incredibly reliable material and never have to worry about it.
