I haven't decided yet, but I may replace the steel fuel line on my 69 E100. It has a 302 with a 2150 motorcraft carb. I'm having problems with fuel reaching the carb consistently. I have one of those small glass filters near the carb and I can see bursts of fuel and then not very much.
I might put in an electric fuel pump too. Any recommendations on a fuel pump? Does anyone know the inner and outer diameters of the steel fuel line?
Thanks much!

Have you taken the sending unit out of the tank?
You might want to do that before replacing the fuel line
Your fuel line would be 5/16 " (you could sure run a 3/8 line and be even better off)
Your sending unit pickup tube has an intake filter known as a "sock"
You need to visually inspect that sock on a truck as old as yours
You can blow it off of there with compressed air blowing back into the tank
Then see what comes out of your tank
Glass will break and burn your van, get rid of it, second, drop the tank and check the sock on the pickup, mine had wadded up and became an issue in my 73, you may be able to pull the pickup without dropping the tank but be careful, there are no replacements, the truck is different.
