I have a 1960 Ford Workmaster (601 series, model 641) that is new to me. I just noticed that the metal fuel line touches the manifold as it comes down from the fuel tank (it's a gravity-feed carb.).
I've looked for pictures of other line/manifold arrangements, but haven't been able to find any that are detailed enough to show whether or not this is common, and the Workmaster owner's manual, shop manual, and parts book don't have enough detail to see this either.
The fuel line only touches the manifold in one place, but the heat of the manifold hard against a fuel line makes me a little nervous. Does anyone know if this is common, or should I either re-bend the existing line or get a new one?
Thanks in advance!
