Replace fuel line?

mayvillain · Jun 20, 2024

I am finishing up a top-end rebuild on my '92 5.7L, but I damaged one of the metal fuel lines coming out of the throttle body. Note the 'twist' in the photos (same fuel line, 2 pics). I reckon I should replace that in case it's pinched, etc.

Curious if you all have any advice about the easiest way out of this?

See if you can source it from a salvage yard first.

Where do the o-rings go? I haven't seen any (I've only seen the side of the lines that plug into the throttle body, though)

Right where the lines go into the adapter fittings at the back of the TBI. They're in your pic as well but you're possibly overlooking them.

Yep, you are correct. Sitting right there in my own dang picture...

Napa sells the o-rings.
