Proform 750 street fuel feed line

[grdprx]

I decided to upgrade to the Proform 750 street carburetor from my Eddy 1406, although I'm having trouble finding a budget fuel feed line for the carb.  I ordered the wrong size when I ordered the carburetor because there weren't specs for what size I needed, which was 9.5" center to center.  I found a Mr. Gasket tube kit at the local Orielly's that fit, at 8 5/8", but it ends an inch from the distributor, so it'll pinch the fuel hose when I hook it up.  No bueno... 
So, I'm wondering what all my fellow Charger owners are doing for fuel line plumbing.  I have a 440 with stock intake manifold.

Best way to fix that problem would be to install a 1in spacer. The phenolic 4 hole is what I used on mine. The phenolic spacer will raise the carb allowing fuel line clearance and insulate the carb preventing vapor lock.

I plumbed mine to the rear to keep the heat away from the lines.

Sorry for the poor file type.

Sorry for the poor file type.

Is that an adjustable setup?  Based on a little research the 8 5/8" size is based off an old 3310 Holley carb, so my options may be limited.

Depending on his air cleaner, he may start to run into hood clearance issues.

I made a "T" with a compression fitting and tubing from Advanced Auto, you can buy a pre made correct flair and fitting tubing lone enough to make the whole thing out of 3/8. The T is between carb inputs and 90* forward any way you want to route it. (Yes I have spacer under carb also.)

I agree, thats what I did. I have a carb spacer and drop base air cleaner which all fit under the hood.

That's pretty sharp looking!  Thanks for the picture.

Yes, it is a handmade line.

Here's a pic of mine with the old 446 and 1in spacer using a generic chrome dual feed fuel line. Raising the carb allows the fuel line to clear the distributor cap.

Thanks Ron!  That's the route I ended up going.  I attempted tube bending, but that didn't end well, so I retreated to this option.  Thanks to all who offered suggestions, now comes the carb tuning! (Novice I am)
