Hi Larry,
the fuel lines should be pretty standard (8mm) ones.
But this one - tank to pump is 12mm.
Just a question, above you mention that they haven't been touched in 30 years although in your second post you had said:
I replaced the fuel lines about 3 years ago.
Not trying to be pedantic here but it does make a bit of a difference, especially in relation to the initial problems that you were experiencing. If the fuel lines are old and disintegrating than this would be a very likely cause of the poor running. As the lines break down, bits of rubber break off internally and lodge themselves in the injectors (or clog up the filter, if in the lines before the filter).
I'd be replacing all the lines and filter in this case.
Cheers,
Dom.
Sorry Dom. I meant I did the injector hoses a few years ago.
That's a very good idea to replace the other hoses. We're enlightened in California and run 10% ethanol in our fuel which has the negative side effect of not being very friendly to rubber gas hoses. I'll be sorting through other hoses in the car during the winter. When I saw "winter" I mean rainy days when the car stays in the garage.
