Steve,
Could you please go to the Parts Book 78Z page 12-2 and advise just which
tube you're looking for.
BTW when I was building ground support equipment for Project Apollo if I
needed a really straight piece of long tubing I'd clamp one end to something
solid and the other end to a come along and then "stretch" the tubing and it
came out straight.
Thanks,
Rob

Part ID #32 on page 12-2
A friend said he had some 1/2" aluminum tube, coil that I could use. I suspect your stretch straighting would work on that. Is AL tube suitable for use in a fuel system, especially with ethanol?
BTW the run from that tube (#32) up to the fuel filler, on my '74, is 1/2" rubber hose. It had a "factory installed" kink that reduced the effective diameter by more than half. I will be bending up a tube section to replace that rubber hose section.
