I went to turn the key today Finally. I turned it a couple times and nothing happened. Then Another couple times and it backfired and shot a Huge flame. So then I see Fuel dripping. Its coming from the bottom of the fuel filter. But the problem, is that the Line is KINKED and has a scrap in it. This line is the line the that runs underneath the car and up to the fuel filter. Im guessing thats why the car wasnt FIRING up. Wasnt getting enough fuel? So Now I have to get a new fuel line for it. My problem is now, is that Do I need to replace the Entire line. or is there a way I can do it diff? I couldnt crank the car anymore because I was risking that the "FLAME" was going to catch the fuel and start a fire. So what do you guys think?
 
I figured it out. I took off the fuel line and im going to install a 6foot SS line instead. I will teflon tape the threads. Thsi should work the best correct?
