Could be worse... I've replaced entire engines for smaller problems than that.

Wait a minute! Are you saying I have a rep for replacing perfectly good parts just for reliability and looks?

You just like to have things in tip top shape
Seems that there is a point where all the musts have been fixed and the car is out of the CAC, then you star to think "is this really a good way to roll long term?"
I even went with the SST tubing for ~$5 more, even though the mild steel version should "last a lifetime" for me.

I totally get it Bruce. Early in my experiences with collector cars I didn't repair things thinking in terms of 'system's, and all it took was getting stranded or taking the tow truck ride of shame a couple of times, and I changed my ways. Maybe more expensive on the front end, but it's pay me now, or pay me later when things fail from my experience. Just my style...

Actually, Bruce, for the way we drive our cars, the SS is probably a better choice and not have it rust from inactivity and moisture. Good choice...
Installed a new fuel line from the pump to the carb, should be a bit more reliable than the PO owners clever contraption of odd parts.
