carb plumbing...what size

[mmagnus]

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. See picture below

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

I can't help with the line sizing but I want to compliment you on the most beautiful Z motor I have seen.

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?
