'69 427/435 tri power fuel line assembly. Best source?

[Joseph W.]

My date correct carbs are currently being rebuilt by Jerry McNeish and I need the fuel line assembly and bronze blocks with correct marks.

I've seen the correct tin bundy weld lines available at Corvette Stainless Steel Brakes, Inline Tube, and Richard Fortier (he includes NOS bronze fittings)
Any recommendations?

Thanks

Joseph this was a tough one for my ‘69 L71. Years ago I ordered Tri-Power repro fuel lines from a vendor I wont mention here. They weren’t even close to fitting. Said vendor wouldn’t give me a refund. I sent them back and he bent them even worse to make them fit. Totally negative experience. So I never used him again.

Fortunately I was able to resurrect the original fuel lines and that’s what on there now.

Will be interesting to see if others have had better experiences.

Any chance you could PM me the vendor?

All of the blocks available in the fuel line kits will function, but do not have the same configuration of an original block. If you are concerned, the original blocks have a relief in them, with Weatherhead Logo stamped in the relief. You can find used blocks around, and there are brass sealing washers that you can buy (about 30 cents each) that will seal the grooves that are generated on the sealing surfaces during previous installations. If Richard Fortier has NOS blocks, that would be the best path.
