I know, sounds like a silly question and usually I can get around this issue, but this car I'm
working on is special. It's a one owner car purchased new in London ( as an export model)
in 1968 and has remained with the family since. It has 38K original miles.
I cleaned and sealed the gas tanks and the crossover tubes . Used new rubber and clamps.
The owner was having the common stalling issues with paint flakes clogging the jets.
The car has its original nylon gas lines with the original nuts. They take a 7/16 wrench but
don't seem to loosen. If I keep turning it starts to twist the lines so I'm asking if anyone has
successfully removed them and retained the nylon lines? This car is very special and original
and I'd like it to stay that way. I only want to remove them to blow any remaining paint out
of the lines. Don't want to unnecessarily break them.
Any ideas are truly welcome!
Cheers!
