Going to put on the Steel fuel line from fuel pump to carb...
Is there anything special to put on the threads or just tighten it down?

Thankx

Sir: just make sure and use back up wrenches to hold the fittings you are screwing into. If you don`t you could strip the filter threads or twist the fuel pump fitting. If anything you might use a little anti-seize on the threads.
Good Luck.

In order to install mine I find it easiest to take out the four bolts holding down the carb so it can move to the rear some. Just tighten down, I use no sealant. Retorque the carb bolts to 8-9 ft lbs.
