Fuel line size for a 289
I am getting ready to make and install a stainless steel fuel line for my car but am unsure of what size to make it. I was planning on making it 3/8" ID but that will mean close to a 1/2" OD and that will be a bit tough to work with and bend. Could I get away with using a 5/16" ID line since it will have a fairly smooth bore? The engine is a mild 4bbl 289 and I am not planning (at this point anyway) on going to a firebreather in the future, so it seems the 5/16may be adequate. It would certainly be much easier to work with if it will supply enough fuel.
Thanks,
Jay
