Go here and scroll down for the fuel pump to carb line -- both an insulated version and steel. The insulated may be easier to install.
With the steel, I take out the four bolts holding the carb so I have more wiggle room -- after the line is finger tight I re install the bolts and snug up the fuel line. The carb bolts are low torque -- I use nine 9 ft lbs.

Header Gaskets came in Thursday (two days early).
Picked up new bolts after work yesterday.
Just finished the install.
No broken bolts and only one mashed thumb a bruised chest and only 37 bad words.
Fired it up and found muffler leak you could not hear with the header leak.
Going to patch that after lunch.
Going to Change oil, filter, brake fluid, Trans fluid, Anti freeze and put in new window washer fluid this week.
Open to any advise on type and procedure for each.
For the oil I am leaning towards Pennzoil T9.
There was a inline fuel filter on top of the engine spliced into the steel line from the pump.
I was installed with nonfuel rubber hose which was weeping fuel on top of the manifold.
That has been removed and good rubber fuel line installed.
I need the part number for the proper steel replacement line for the 403, I am not happy with even good rubber over the engine.
As pre advice of several, I have ordered Manuals, and a CD which is supposed to have it all.
Also, listed the coaches info on the registry.
I am going to go through everything mechanical first. The generator, internal power, frig, AC etc. are secondary.
They are no good if the coach can't get you some ware to use them.
