Posted April 30, 200519 yr comment_122144 I just recently installed my tripple Delorto carbs into my restoration projection. I need to purchase the hoses that connect them all together and run a fuel rail to the pump. Can anyone tell me what size hoses, ends, joints work the best for this set up.

May 9, 200519 yr comment_123150 I would go with the same I.D. as the fittings on the carb. That's how I plumbed my f.i. system. I started with 1/4 inch i.d., and had to bush the ends with soldered brass tube to get a good seal.Is there a way to put barb-like things (bulges) in steel tubing?thx Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/15758-carb-plumbingwhat-size/#findComment-123150 Share on other sites More sharing options...

May 11, 200519 yr comment_123352 mmagnus,I am using 5/16 on my trip-Mikuni's with a Holley Red fuel pump. At first I thought it might be too small but was advised to go with this size and everything seems to be fine. By the way, what distributor and cap are you using?George Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/15758-carb-plumbingwhat-size/#findComment-123352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
