Hey, Imperialists:
I just received my carburetor, freshly rebuilt, from my carburetor-genius buddy. He had to replace the bowl; a previous owner installed a Ford-style bowl. Its fuel inlet was for a rubber hose; that's what I have on the car now. My carb guy said I'll have to get proper fuel lines to connect the fuel pump to the corrected carburetor.
As I haven't worked on a 440 engine in decades, I don't recall what the proper fuel line(s) look like on a '68 Imperial Crown, K-series engine, Holley carburetor. Is the fuel filter inline between the pump and the carb? Is it a 5/16" or 3/8" line? I thought I'd check with the group before I search the market for the parts. NAPA has no listing for fuel lines for this model.
A couple of pics for reference . . .

Thank you, Matt.
I ordered the fuel lines and filter a few days ago from Mancini Racing, just a few bucks more than the eBay price; I finally connected with a sales rep there that understood what I needed. It didn't matter that my car wasn't a B-body, of course, but other places said they weren't sure they'd fit a Y-body car.
Mancini Racing is a speed shop (or hot rod shop) specializing in Mopar muscle since 1972, but their restoration section can be a lower-cost alternative to other classic restoration parts suppliers.
Thanks again for posting.

Been to Mancini’s many times, just a short drive for me.
