here ya go


For the desired tube, either (or both) ends could also be totally straight and not bent to the side. I just can't have this vertical bending crap.

Matt, is that existing tube removable/cutable? You could probably get a pipe bending and flaring kit for $20-$30 and stick a new piece of stainless tubing in there (worst case scenario obviously).

I'll check this morning if I have that. If so I'll grab it and ship it your way.

BTW, is it possible for me to just buy the pieces and make my own hose with parts at PepBoys or Home Depot? I'm not opposed to that.

That may be possible, I've never made fuel line with anything other than AN fittings myself.

My spare VX motor is about to toss a rod, but the head, etc is good. I'm about 95% sure I'm going to be putting my entire good VX swap up for sale though (motor, ecu, tranny, wiring). I'll be up/down-grading to a HX motor and boosting it (but keeping all the lean-burn tech), and it will be going into my 88 Si, which has a radio, full interior, etc. I know the mileage will probably drop into the mid 50's, but I need to make something I'm more likely to keep. Also, I'll be rebuilding and dropping my B18C setup into my HF, should be good for 12's NA.
