Its easy to run a -8 line from the robbmc pump outlet to the carb using one of cliffs -8 AN fitting & high flow marine filter.

This is very timely for me, very. My RobbMC came this week and I took out the old pump last night. I've been making a plan for needed fittings and was about to head out to the garage and check about the routing to the carb. The 3/8 outlet comes out the opposite side of the pump's inlet so it looks like I'll be using a 90 degree fitting to come out and straight up. Summit has a line (PTFE) by Fragola with this fitting feature already as assembly. I was going to determine if the line would fit through the factory routing between power steering pump bracket and timing chain cover. I, however, don't know the 3/8 line O.D. nor the bend radii of the line to see if this is possible. This obviously has everything to do with picking the correct line length as well. If I can't snake a 3/8 line through the original routing and have to find a different path I will go with a 1/2 line but where does it run? It must come up around the outside of the alternator and over or behind it over the valve cover? Im not concerned about original routing but am very cautious of moving parts (fan, pulleys, belts, alternator and pump adjustment) and electrical and headers....You already know that....Does anyone have a hint or even a picture?
