71RestoRod · 05-26-2005, 11:25 PM

Nice job, Luv.

donkey69 · 05-26-2005, 11:29 PM

vtblazer · 05-27-2005, 05:48 AM

LUV2XCLR8 · 05-27-2005, 07:17 AM

Looks real good.

Hard to tell from the angle of the pic, but PLEASE check the hose in the pic and make sure that if it is a gas line that you have plenty of clearance...

LUV2XCLR8 · 05-27-2005, 05:18 PM

Yes, that is a gas line, but the picture makes it look worse than it really is

71RestoRod · 05-27-2005, 05:57 PM

If I'm not mistaken, it's actually the line to the vapor canister... so not quite so scary.

HMMM, no vapor canister on this rig, maybe I can remove it

vtblazer · 05-27-2005, 06:05 PM

Remove it and you'll not be driving very far...

That's your gas line, period. It's just a flexable joint in the solid metal tubing.

Interesting....

I installed a 3/8" fuel line and then a second 5/16" fuel line that I'm using as a return... both stock replacements & both are solid one piece all the way to the tank. The only line with flex couples on mine is the vapor line with one of the flex couples right at that spot. The other flex couple is next to the front spring shakle.

Not to say GQ's isn't different, or that it's not a fuel line... I just remember what a biotch it was to hang those long lines with the extra return in place.

Oh well, I guess I stand corrected!

No intent on a correction, just going by what I've seen.
Your blazer has a solid fuel line? Interesting...
Different years may of had changes to the fuel lines.
Mines got a short rubber hose right where the loop in question is on GQ.

vtblazer · 05-27-2005, 08:16 PM

Here's the way the line runs on a 1971 4x4 blazer anyway.

Passenger's side, toward the rear, just in front of the leaf spring mount, inside of the frame rails.

The earlier post was meant as info, nothing more...nothing less.

71RestoRod · 05-27-2005, 09:59 PM

Certainly no offence taken, VT. That’s still a really good picture of the line that runs to my vapor canister.

It wouldn’t surprise me if I took liberties with my hard line installation… this is what the mess looked like to start with. That bundle in about the middle the mess was the vapor line kit.

By the way… I emailed you a sound file of those “wicked” Magnaflows that I recorded the first day I got the Resto running. Let me know what you think! I agree with Luv… the Flowmasters just sound constricted to me. The Magnaflows are really throaty… Our neighbors haven’t complained yet… but one asked if I was building a race car. I took that as a complement!

I was going to describe mine as a top fuel dragster minus a couple
thousand horsepower, it does have a unique sound, I luv mine.
