    Okay, so I'm an idiot!

    I did this mod some time ago, but do not remember a fuel line problem? I do remember taking the fuel pump out and working through that area to install the bulkhead. Take a look at this parts book and see if you see your part there. May have to go with a flex line, but I don't remember an...
