Jeff, I looked there 1st and it only lists the 67 Firebird.....are they the same for 68? Thanks for your help.

If the carb inlet is on the front verses the side, I would think they would be the same. However, for some reason I thought the 68 Sprints had the inlet come out the side (e.g., towards the driver's fender).

Never mind, I just saw your picture. The 67 fuel line is different for the reasons I cited. The one from inline tube comes to the front of the carb. You could probably modify it, but it won't fit as is.

here is a pic of an original engine - from Hemmings

I have the same engine (68 Sprint) and I ran my own line as I could not find a direct fit. I used a banjo connection to "turn" the fuel inlet to the front. Please see attached pictures. I also installed an electric fuel pump ( you can see the by-pass in the one picture ) I plan to install a dummy fuel pump in the near future.

Wayne228 what an amazing engine..thanks for the pics . Looking more and more like I am going to have to bend my own

In Line tube will make you one if they have an original to go by, I did this on a couple of odd ball lines, like 71 Lemans Station wagon fuel lines. But I can drive the parts to them to be reproduced, if you still have the originals you can send them to them.

just an option

CamerJeff - thanks for the offer, unfortunately I don't have the originals (i would def take you up on your offer)

i am going to keep looking so we can have them reproduced - until them i guess i will have to make my own based on the pictures that are out there

That may be the only option.
You might also look up Cammer 6 (Gary) he once offered fuel lines for most years.

I always thought that most of the '68 FB line configurations I saw online were homemade attempts,
but it seems that the over the cam house and way out and around to the carb from the rear is pretty much factory.

I have a few images on file that may help. The hardest part is getting the fuel and vac lines to run/match the layout.
The S clips will be another pc that will take some hunting to find.

Keep us posted on your task.

Cheers

I went the front route as the extra lines to the rear made it much harder to adjust the carb & kick down cable. I went to a TH350 tranny on the built up engine. Had to keep playing with the kick down adjustment & glad I eliminated some extra lines to the rear. The power brakes also contributed to the trouble reaching things in that area. I did clean up the bend by the front of the engine. The pictures were taken during the "work in progress stage" If you look close in the picture with the red paint on the stripes you will see my solution to the clips ( just behind the oil fill tube ) it's just a piece of aluminum with a slight bend on it that pins the tube to the "L" shape corner on all the bolt points. Just a thought.
