[Chevelle-list] Fuel Line

[John L. Scala, Jr.]

I have a 71 with a small block.  I am creating a new fuel line from the pump to 
the carburetor using a braided steel line and aluminum fittings.  My question 
is, the lower radiator hose touches the fittings and line, is this acceptable 
or does the entire run need to be unobstructed?  It touches a little bit, not 
pressing on the line or fitting.
Thanks!
