I'm no expert, but I believe that the 260 and 289-powered street Cobras did not have a 715 Holley. They used a standard Autolite carb that came on the engines from Ford. Not that it matters for the fuel line, but I assume you're trying to replicate an original car, so the carb is pretty important to the "look". What came on the Mustangs generally has little or no relationship to what came on the Cobras.
