"Have been slowly up-grading the 318 in my 22-2 Aquasport. New Mallory electronic ignition, new exhaust lines, new Edelbrock carb, etc. I also added a spin on Sierra fuel/water separator back by the fuel tank. I eliminated the filter can between the pump & carb. The fuel lines that were there were rubber. Have read that the line between the pump and the carb should be steel. What is the best way to fabricate this line? Have read that a brake line could be used. Any thoughts/suggestions?"
