April 21, 2004: More fuel line work.
I needed about 18 feet of 5/16" line in total (9' for the feed and the same for the return) as well as maybe 18" of the 1/2". It's all looking pretty good.

To ensure that I don't have problems fitting the lines past the transmission, I've put another transmission and dummy engine in the car. It's impossible to get anything past the bottom of the tranny on the right side which is unfortunate. But I've worked out routing for everything that will keep the wires from chafing as well as keep them clear when the transmission is being removed or installed. I did decide to cut one of the rubber mounts for the rear of the transmission down by about 3/4" as it was putting the tail of the transmission too high.
