Title: Fuel Line Hose at Carb
Post by: 1970 Snake on September 25, 2020, 08:36:21 PM
Can anyone advise where to buy the correct 5/16" hose and crimp clamps for the fuel pump line to carb filter connection at the carb for a 1970 mustang 428CJ

If after looking you can't find any I have the correct looking 5/16 crimp clamps without the dimple like all the modern crimp clamps have. PM me.

I'd call and verify what was said.

Great product but NPD needs to put a better description for it, the kit comes with the 5/16 hose and clamps for connecting the carb to the fuel pump line bit says nothing about it at all.

Sorry for the late response, the NPD hose kit indicates it is 3/8" hose and not 5/16". I have the correct 3/8" hose which is used on the line coming from the gas tank and now have the correct 5/16" crimp clamps from DNO. Are you saying the NPD hose is 5/16" ID and not 3/8" ID as indicated in their description??

It's a Marti part, you could call them.

I just found my original factory hoses, fender apron to fuel pump and fuel pump tube to carb. The hoses and clips are as per the Marti offering, particularly the clips on the carb hose, they are the same as Marti's.
What is puzzling me is why all I have read, indicate or show the crimp clips at that location, yet my originals are NOT crimp clips. I stand corrected, the original piece I found was the fuel line to fuel tank, hose and clips.
