Fuel and headers!

[normanpitkin]

I have just fitted split headers to my 41 windsor and they are a bit close to the fuel line from the mechanical pump.Am going to route the pipe away but will still put a wrap or similar on the headers,has anyone used Zircotec 3 for this purpose?

Here is how I did it with the fuel line.

Header wraps trap moisture from the heating and cooling cycle promoting rust, I would reroute like Don's picture or similar. If you ceramic coat the inside of the headers most of the heat goes out the pipes.

This is probably the wrong place to bring up wooden clothes pins....

I used modern synthetic flex fuel line to route it from the pump up the inner fender, then over to the carb/s.

I rerouted my fuel line away from the exhaust. I thought about wrapping the close section but have not and so far haven't had an issue.

This was the set up on my 230 that I ran for about 5 years here in the Dallas area with temps often over 100 degrees in the summer with no problems. No wraps, clothes pins or any other insulating schemes.
