I have seen several pics where the fuel line was routed around the front of
the radiator. Mine is that way from a PO. Not sure about any
advantage/disadvantage to doing it. I personally find it odd looking and
plan to reroute it correctly someday.

I have decided to convert a prior owner's electric fuel pump back to the
original mechanical one.  I do not know where the line should go to get to
the carbs on the other side of engine.  Someone a while back also suggested
taking the fuel line ( I assume it is rubber from the pump outlet to the
carb tie-in) around the front of the radiator to keep away from the engine
heat.  Any merit to this?  

I wonder if someone can direct me to an engine compartment photo covering
this part.
