Fuel Line Replacement
Short answer: Either buy reproduction 1967–69 fuel lines, or make your own. To make them: a mandrel tubing bender (~$60, Sears Automotive) plus steel fuel/brake line from a parts store (sold in 25′ rolls) lets you build a line that looks like the factory piece.
- Straightening: roll the line out on the garage floor, have a helper hold the end, and push down as you roll to avoid humps. Cut to length plus a couple of feet extra.
- Barbing the ends: use a double-flare kit — do just the first step (the bulge) to create a barb so the rubber hose won’t slide off and seals properly. If you buy repro line, make sure it has this feature.
- Shape: follow the existing brake line along the crossmember; stay within ~3″ of the Camaro line so the rubber hose isn’t too long.
Expect to ruin a few practice pieces learning the bender — measure twice, cut once.
