His rail will be shipping tomorrow unless something happens. What I could use now is the flex line for a 98+ ram. Happen to have one of those?

Is that the line that goes between the two rails? I think I have the one that Hughes sent with their kit? If I can find it I'll send it to you. I have both rails together with the fuel line in place. Just let me know what I can do to help and I will.

That's the fuel line that goes from the fuel rail, down to the line on the frame from the tank.

Fuel Rail shipped today. I PM'ed you the info.

Thanks HeyYou. I also ordered a line from flea-bay this morning that is 'suppose' to fit. Now if I could just get my flywheel straight. The one I ordered through my local napa looks too small, but I haven't checked them side by side yet.

EVENTUALLY.....

Someone posted a pic of the 130 tooth, and the 143 tooth next to each other, and there was a considerable size difference.... that was fairly recently too......

That was me not reading the specs in the description. All I saw was "360" and got it coming. It will fit the 360, but it has to be internally balanced and using a smaller bell housing, like a 4 speed car, or something similar. Funny thing about it though, I think mopar used the same crank/ flywheel pattern for all of their gas engines from 66 to 03 (end magnum). It seems like everything I looked at was either 130 teeth or 143, with differences in balancing for different motors. I think the 426 hemi was the exception to that.
The new one does match and is neautrally balanced thankfully. Was going to put it on, but sciatic nerve has had me limping good all day. I don't trust myself handling 40 pounds of steel over my toes tonight.

Frankie,
Sorry don't have a used version of that line. I have a custom steel braided line that I am not sure yet will work on my Jeep.

Sounds like you have the correct flywheel so here's hoping your leg feels better and you can get it installed soon. I know all to well about hurting and not being able to work.

Thanks for the encouragement. Hope all is well in your neighborhood.

For a little added bling this is the line I got. But I am dealing with a Jeep not a pickup. I am hoping it will be long enough to work on the V-8.

Thats pretty. Being a stock replacement, it should fit. I haven't looked at many jeeps, but what I have seen the fuel line lands in he same spot. The inline engines run along the block, and the v6/8 comes over the bell housing. Either way I hope it works.
