I finished the fuel line replacement last night. It went quite well. After I removed the old line, I pulled out the pickup tube that enters the bottom of the tank. This tube was supposed to have a strainer screen on it. Mine does not. I am sure it has gone missing somewhere along the forty year journey. I guess I am not to concerned about that. As long as I keep a good fuel filter in line and change it often, I think it will be fine. In fact it may even be better. I can change the fuel filter from under the hood without having to jack up the car and drain out all the fuel! Before I reinstalled the pick up tube, I poured about a liter of fuel through the filler neck to "clean out" the tank a bit. A small amount of "crap" was washed out with it. That has to be a good thing.
