That would be http://www.van-cafe.com/home/van/page_499_286/fuel-line-replacement-kit.html. $100 with firewall connector. Just did that on my son's '87.  Found a leaking injector hose when I removed the A/C compressor that was original, so replace those too.  Reseal the tank with the appropriate kit while you are at it and make it a full weekend (or two) project. Add another $100!

Okay, okay, fine.

I reckon that since our 1.9L AT is approaching 100k miles and 30 years of age, I'd best heed the repeated (like a drumbeat!) advice and replace all the fuel line bits that are apparently ticking time bombs, waiting for the right moment to burst causing a gigantic fireball that lights up the sky.

So -- do any of our venerable vendors vend complete upgrade kits including the firewall fitting? So I don't have to spend hours piecing together everything I need.

If not, does anyone have a handy-dandy shopping list?
