O.k. Finally got fuel lines. Nice having a good euro specific auto shop close to home, I got good German braided fuel line.

Now I've replacted all the hoses that came off, the old grotted origional stuff from 1973. Still stock after all these years... I'm still stunned to think about how I made it home from Ohio when I picked it up. It makes the day long sortie down the Appalachian chain all the more amazing.

My question: anyone have a diagram for correct fuel line placement for a '73 with heater?
I want to do it right the first time...

No diagram, and my fuel lines aren't original, but here's how mine goes:

Tank to T connection with rubber line.

One side of the T goes into the body (to the motor).

The other side of the T goes to a cheap plastic filter, then to the heater fuel pump.

I'll be modifying mine with a 12v pump in the near future.
