 Well, after 7 years in storage, I got the 73 j-h running again. I flushed the cooling system as well as the oil and all seemed well. I've done the back brakes and still need to replace the master cylinder.
When I went out this AM there was a puddle of gas under the rear diff.  On further inspection, years ago, a section of metal fuel line just after where it exits the trunk must have rotted off. It was fixed with a piece of tubing clamped over each end. I've now pulled the tank, removed all the wet insulation stuff and will be sending the tank out for cleaning and possibly epoxy sealing if needed. When this goes back together, what kind of fuel line should I be using? A hard line all the way up or is a rubber line acceptable tied into the good hard line??

 

Thanks in advance
