gas line
I am putting in a new gas line from the tank to the fuel pump on my 66. There is fabric around the line back by the tank. Does the hold down clamp go over the fabric of directly on the line.
Thanks
Mel

Re: gas line
Not sure where a "fabric around the line back by the tank" is located however I just have my 64 to look at. Fuel line is new. -
Re: gas line
The fabric goes on the portion of line that is inside the frame rail, between the nylon grommet where the line enters the frame in the kick-up and the rear most clamp. It is to prevent rattles and is not visible once it's installed.Comment

Re: gas line
Yes and the AIM shows where to place the fabric sleeve.
This post has some additional info which may help. Many photos in there so you'll have to wait for them to load. It's a 1967 but similar setup in 1966 IIRC.
See the paragraph "Fuel Line".

Re: gas line
OK, saw it and nylon grommet also! Mine seems to go about 3" inside the frame rail then stops.
The AIM, Sect 8 sheet B3.00, shows the "loom" (3828884) as being somewhat in the center (22.25" from pipe end) however it has slide
down the pipe and is against the nylon grommet now. (hope I do not loose a point
)
Thanks for clarification. Nice write up in Richard's "Re: gas line"Comment

Re: gas line
Allen; a couple of questions on the 64 installation.
Is the fuel drain hose supposed to go through the rear valance or just hang down on the inside?
Did GM change the clamp style from 63 to 64? The ones on the fuel line from the tank to the tubing?
Difficult to get pictures like the one you posted. Great job of the photography.

Re: gas line
Richard,
Rubber hose goes through the rear valance then down the bumper, ends 1/2" of end of bumper. OH, do not forget the spring in the end of hose,
that will be checked. My 64 AIM, Sect 8 sheet B4.00, shows spec for 1/2"
The clamps at each end of rubber fuel line are for 63 9414820 sect 8 sheet 4.00
while for 64 3786276 Sect 8 sheet B3.00. Assume that change started at beginning of MY 1964
The 63 clamp, 9414820, was replaced by or "use" 178300. See type "F"Comment

Re: gas line
Alan;
Always the devilish details. I had not clue about the spring or the differences between 63 and 64 clamps.
I just looked at the rear bumper area in the 1963 and 1964 6th Edition Technical Information Manual and Judging guide and couldn't find any information on the hose spring. I just Checked the hose installation in the AM (pg 151) and could find no reference to a spring?
Was the spring included in the hose Part Number 3768272? In the LIC catalog I found the hose without any mention of a spring. The Assembly Manual does show the routing, as you have it, now I know what I am looking at.
Again thanks for the great picture.Comment

Re: gas line
My understanding is that many AIMs exist therefore the page numbers can be misleading, so reference the Sect and Sheet numbers, please.
I too also used the page numbers until enlightened.
AIM page shown is from the 64AIM, the 63 show no spring. Got a deduct at Regional for no spring, not sure if I had a new spring or just removed from old overflow hose. OK, checked your info and saw we are looking at a 63 - no spring!Comment

Re: gas line
Thanks for the heads up on the Sect and Sheet numbers. I will use them.
I know some more differences now.
No spring on the 63's.
LIC sells the drain hose both smooth and with ribs.
I found no reference to the different hoses except in the catalog?
What should be there and is their a difference between 63 or 64's?Comment

Re: gas line
The 63AIM shows the hose as 3782516, on 9-14-62 replaced by 3768272
Then the 64AIM calls for 3849611 (NPC-153, I do not have), the 64 hose has 4 ribs, at least on a Mar64 car
Have no knowledge of the 63 hose - rib - non ribComment
