66 F250 Fuel Line Routing

All: At the point of bending tubing for the fuel-line between the fuel pump and the carb.
I have a Custom Cab with a 352CID engine.
It also has both Oil Pressure guage and idiot light, so the two senders sit beside & above the pump.
I'm adding P/S so the P/S pump & bracket also are in the area above the Fuel pump.
Now trying to bend and thread the steel fuel line thru the same area and on up to the carb,(passing the distributor housing).
It's very crowded, so wondering if any one can post a picture of the fuel line routing they used between the pump and carburetor.
Thanks. Jeff

Jeff, I didn't try to connect both ends with the tubing. I started at the pump carefully bending and routing until I got up on the manifold. I got it in position then cut the tube to allow for an inline fuel filter. I then started back from the carb to the cut tube, fitted it into the filter. It has worked well for a dozen + years.

66 F250 Fuel Line Routing

John: Good suggestion. Do you recall the type, brand of in-line filter you used? What type of internal filter and have you had to replace the filter element frequently?
Thx. Jeff

On the other hand I took my old line and then made a new line all the way up to the side of the distributor. Since I don't have p/s there was no problem. If I did have p/s then I would have taken a coat hanger to mock up a line and then copy it to actual fuel line.
