Thank you for the information Wietse; I think my son is leaning to AN and fancy braided (because cost is no option to him :) )but I wanted to see what experiences people here have had.

Thanks for the info Bob. We are planning to do all the fuel lines. It's not a stock 318; it's got a mildly-hopped cam, with Edelbrock intake and 4 bbl carb and hooker headers. We are replacing the mechanical for a really dumb reason - we forgot to include the part the mechanical pump needs when...

Nice ride...and welcome!

OK thank you Don. Also looking for experience people have had with brands or whether that matters. I saw no recommended anything with the pump or pressure regulator...

Hi all - Currently in the process of swapping out the original 273 from my '68 Belvedere with a 318. Part of that is to replace the mechanical fuel pump with an electric one. I have a Holley 12-801-1 fuel pump, a 12-803 regulator and a relay for switching. My question is, what type of lines...

So I was torquing down the caps, and although I had tapped them all into place before starting, one came out of the recess it needs to be in and I didn't notice until, you guessed it, the part of the cap outside the bolt snapped. Am I totally hosed here or is there some way to make this work...

So I think my '68 Belvedere has something amiss. When I punch it to kick down, it immediately upshifts. I know I must have something out of adjustment (and I am at work so I can't post pics right now) but was wondering if anyone has any thoughts/ideas/experience with something like this. Thanks!

It's funny you mention this. When I first had everything back together, I went for a test drive with the hood off, and I swore I saw the motor hop and twist to the right, but I've never been able to recreate it. Sounds like it might be my issue! I'll let you all know when I give it the check...

What makes you think motor mounts? I only ask this because I thought I might have a problem with one...

Edelbrock 1406 on a 273

At work now, but will when I get home

So I have everything I need, and it is all hooked up. Now I have a new, odd problem. Sometimes (not all the time, of course), when accelerating from a stop, I get pushback on the pedal and it goes wide open for a second or two, then drops to normal. I'm thinking it has to be a linkage issue, but...

This worked perfectly! Thanks!

Awesome. Thanks so much all. I'll let you know how it works out. Next up: headers...

Do you know the part number?
