Cheers,
My fuel line routing looks like a bit of a hairball. Is there a proper way to route these things so it does not interfear with the carb linkage? -Picture attached- If someone has a picture of it done right that would help.

The dummy air filters are just there until I can modify an extra AF housing that will fit on the car with the strut bar as the Webers sit almost 2 inches farther back than the Zeniths.

Thanks

Looks good to me, my only suggestion would be to shorten the lines from the pump to the tee and the tee to the front carb in order tidy up the appearance and get the lines running parallel to the block/manifold a litttle more.
 
Thanks-

I Just wanted to be sure there was not something I was missing. The car was not "unadultrated" when I got it so even though I did my best to put things back the way they came off, I'm never really sure if I'm just copying an error :-)

I too would suggest to shorten the gas lines to pull them in closer to the carbs....
but...
gas lines will crack and fail at their ends. Having the extra length allows you to cut off an inch or so if a crack shows up, without having to replace the entire length. Now if hose is inexpensive this may be false economy, but that's always the choice.
