1993 LT1 Fuel Line Leak
My '93 LT1 got a pin hole leak on the hard plastic fuel line right where it attaches to the metal fitting at the fuel rail. What's the common fix for this? I'm only able to find the soft rubber fuel injection hose at the supply stores. Should I replace the entire line with the soft rubber hose, or does someone make the original type lines? Is there a splicing trick to just repair the leak at the end of the line? Thanks for any help.

Should be replaced. Problem is the 93 is different from other years. 94-97 fuel line bundle is still available from GM, with a very reasonable price.
You can get -6AN adapters (x 5/16" return and x 3/8" supply) for the ends of the hard lines, and run -6AN braided SS lines from the hardline connection under the rocker panel to the hard lines at the rails.
Dorman also makes a "universal" fuel line repair kit that allows you to make up new nylon lines, but the cost is prohibitive. However, you may be able fond an auto parts shop that has the kit (or similar) makes the replacement nylon lines.

Thanks for the info Injuneer. I got into Dorman's catalog and will be trying one of their repair kits. It's fairly inexpensive so no big loss if it doesn't work. I'll let you know when I get the parts and how it works.
