I am reusing the 93 fuel lines with a 94 engine in the car. They will not reach the back of the intake if you run them through that plastic retainer so you have to remove it and run them straight back. It doesn't look "nice", but it works.

Here. It's an old/bad picture. It was right after the engine (stock) swap and everything was still messy/dirty, but you can still get an idea. The blue spots I marked show how I zip tied it aftertwards so that carbon canister line doesn't stay up.

I just swapped the lines over myself.

Just get you a donor car cut the lines off.. clean them up real good.. put a dab of greese in the lines then get a hose barb kit (made for quick disconnect type fuel systems) at advanced auto heat them up with a torch.. slip them in when the temp is about 300 degrees and bam.. new fuel lines.

Re: 93 fuel lines on a 94+ intake?

Wow! Only $17?! How hard were they to replace? Do they run up to the fuel filter, or where is the closest connection?

Correct part # is 10258441. You get everthing for where it connects under the car to where it connect to the fuel rails. All three lines, heat shield, and gromet thru fender well.

Not hard at all. They connect right under the car near the driver door. You need the take out the inner fender lining and everything go thru that gromet hole. Make sure you pull the clear tab off the metal lines, because the new line already have them. Also be low on gas when you start.

GMPart has good prices, but they charge you up the A$$ ($45.00 ) in shipping which defeat the purpose of the low price.
