Is anyone aware of a supplier for prebent line for the fuel pump to carb and the wiper vacuum? I found a 56 Tbird set and was thinking that since their the same year and engine it may work with a little tweaking.

Try Tee-Bird Product in PA.  They list various steel lines for a sedan.  The tbird lines are different.  www.tee-bird.com  I have dealt with them and they are ok.

Look for Inline Tube.  They list the pre bent fuel line you need for about $25.  I have used their products and am satisfied.

Thanks. It's strange that neither of those two came up on my search.

I used 57 Thunderbird lines , inline fuel filter and fuel line support bracket on my 56 Merc and my 57 Ford Wagon. They may not be exactly like what the car left the factory with but they look good and they work.
Ordered mine from Casco Thunderbird Parts. Their catalog (online) will give you a good diagram of the various parts.
I used 57 lines because I run a later Holley 4bbl carb , 56 stuff will work if you are running a Holley 4000 (teapot )

I don't care about looking original. Just that it looks good. On your Holley is the fuel inlet on the passenger side? My carb is and would like the hard line to be as long as possible before transitioning to 3/8" rubber.

That's what the Thunderbird lines look like on my 312. I try to never use rubber lines on the pressure side ( fuel pump to carb) since ethanol tends to do nasty things to it.

I got a nice set from Larry's T Bird
Looks good and fit well on my 56 Victoria

Looks real good. I think I'll get the same kit and just make the filter to carb line. Thanks
