if you want to route the line the mnost effective way, run it behind the
valve cover. the fuel line is kept away from the heat of the engine,
not near any moving parts and is a shorter "run" of line. if you have
twin carbs, you just switch the float bowl domes fronmt to back and feed
into the rear then forward. standard practice on race versions and
equally applicable to street cars. ted
