Default 1980 Turbo Pace Car tank to pump fuel line pic

Hi,

I have a 1980 Turbo Pace Car I am putting the engine back in from a rebuild

The tank to pump drivers side fuel line I have now is cut at about where the door hinges are on the frame rail below

I ran a fuel line from the cut to the pump area

but it goes threw some funky bends on the control arm area and where it passes through the firewall fender area

I am going to get the inline tube 2 piece kit tomorrow

Does any have a detail picture or photograph of the line from the pump out so I can see the routing as where it goes threw the engine compartment drivers side to the frame below

As Always thanks again

Couldn't see any specific for 301T, went through 4 manuals. Is it turbo specific? May be the same as 301 in a 77, of which I have none of these models. Or just the Pontiac engine version.

I can check my 81 pacecar but im pretty sure the lines are the same as other mid to late 70's 2nd gens with pontiac engines. Can you take a pic of the area youre describing so im know what to look for?

Sounds like its the short section that runs under the frame/upper control arm area then on to the pump.

Not sure how similar this may be, as it is of a 70, but hopefully of some assistance.
