Paul,

Ditto what Mike said.  When I removed the stock vents from the float bowl to
the air cleaner on my 70 1600, I did the same thing.  Ran fuel hose down
away from the header to the suspension, but I ended mine a little shorter
than Mike.  I stopped mine just below the upper a-arms.  Either way, it
works and solved a problem I was having with leaning of the fuel mixture at
higher rpm's under load.

Paul,

Forget the original dimensions. I have an NOS set that I tried to mount on
my car and it was a hassle. I use fuel line and snake it down away from the
header near the front suspension almost to the ground.
