Guys, trying to determine how to bend my fuel line from pump up towards the carb on a 440. Coming up behind the Alt. is easy but the dizzy really hinders a straight shot....just wondering how the factory did it. Can t seem to fine a pix strumming thru my old magazines...

IMO...
I whole heartedly concur....just buy a prebent assembly from either of the suppliers noted...relatively inexpensive plus it looks correct.
Just my opinion of course..

You didn’t state what year, body, or carb configuration, but here is my 70 6bbl factory routing from the separator up to the carb.

I asked this question last Summer. I have a different sort of setup though. I have a regulator at the frame rail. Anything over 7 psi goes back to the tank.
I bent my own line. The repro companies might not cost much but they cannot ship it to my place in 15 minutes. That is about how long it took me to cut, flare and bend my own.
I'll take a picture of mine and post it soon.
