Central, we do rely upon member contributions to keep the site and server running smoothly. As membership grows, so does
site usage. Recently we have seen a huge jump in server load and bandwidth. As a result, at times we notice extremely
slow page loading. Many of you may have also noticed the new member rankings used to recognize supporting members.

I think that's way too much. Although your fuel line will have to be custom made because of what your doing (LT1), the brake lines are available from www.kirbanperformance.com part#7185 made by Russell for $80. That would mean they're charging you $620 for a custom made fuel line? For that much I'd get a bender and make my own fuel line. Maybe you could start with new GN fuel line and return and adapt them to fit, I don't know where your fuel inlet is on your intake as compared to a GN, and you would probably have to add in an extension as the Elky has a bit longer wheelbase than the GN...or maybe you could combine a couple of kits to make one to work, one from a Vette and one from a GN. just a thought.
They have the front to rear stainless fuel lines and I'm sure you could call them about the brake lines and whatever other fuel lines you may need. _________________ 1980 El CaminoSS
yes, guy dropped some of the price because I didn't need some emissions stuff.
Came out to about 500... for all 4 lines of stainless with braided ends, all bent to fit the car. Because of the motor swap I need a delivery and return fuel line. I called locally and was getting price quotes of $800 - $1000 so apprently this crap is expensive.
Hey, did you ever consider doing the lines yourself. Invest in a $300 tool and you can do them all and still have the tool.
