Why It Matters
-8 AN (1/2") is a great all-around size for a naturally-aspirated dual-carb motor or fuel injection. The 90-degree bulkhead fitting exits the top or side of the bulkhead, so tight-radius tube bends aren't required.
Installation Notes
This kit is for the professional-level installer. The rear frame horn bungs are machined to accept the line so it can be welded together before welding the bung to the rear frame horn.
