I'm building a new 5/16" gas line from the tank forward and at about the firewall area my old one has what looks like an OEM junction bushing /fitting before continueing forward and around the front chassis crossmember.
I'm figuring this was to accomodate other engines in the Chev. line that may have had a driver's side fuel pump. I don't see any reason to build that junction inline for my particular chassis/ motor (239C.I.) . Am I missing something here??
