I have a 1942 Ford 1/2 ton pickumup. This is very nearly ready for the road (been saying that for 2 years, life keeps interupting Ford time) The fuel line rout. I havent got the tank under the seat anymore, it was rotted out, I now have a tank (1958 Fairlane) under the bed in back. Fits good. Got the filler coming out of the rear fender, 1940 style. So the fuel line runs all the way from the back of the chassis. This ends (at the moment) about level with the pedal assembly and crossmember. From here it has (at the moment, as a tempory measure) flexible fuel line to the pump. Its tempory as I'd like to know where the line goes in a stock truck. Does it come up the firewall near the centre and to the pump, or does it come up the side of the firewall, then across the firewall to the pump. My tepory line comes up just off centre to the pump, but this sits directly behind the rear of the cylinder bank on that side. And as we know, the back of the engine has exhaust porting at the outside wall of the block, no water twix the port and the outer of the block. I do have a couple of inches clearence to the block. I think theres better places to run the line. So wanted to know where it was from the factory.
A good under hood pic of the firewall would be worth a thousand words.
Many thanks
