did 67 ford merc use Plastic Fuel lines?
??? Going over my new toy, 67 Merc Monterey, i noticed it has a Plastic (not rubber) fuel line running from the front inner fender back to the gas tank. There are short rubber hoses between the plastic line & the hard metal lines at either end.
My first thought was this has got to be a hack this should be a metal line... But i posted over on a ford board, and one guy told me he has had several 67 Galaxies that all had this plastic fuel line.
Can anyone confirm this as origonal?
Should i be worried about this? It kind of freaks me out... InlineTube wants $150 for a pre-bent stainless steel one... Not sure i want to pay that much. What would you do?
Replace with steel, replace with rubber, replace with braided, or leave it alone cause its obviously been like that for years and years and hasn't had any problems up to now?
Thanks!
