There are other types of fuel lines (non-solid) designed for ethanol. When I do the EFI conversion on the 79 I'll be replacing every rubber fuel line.

Thats entirely possible. Do you have the thread link handy? The plastic is 20 years old. I was kind of assuming either tank replacement or something similar.

I'm not sure the material. I'll update you once I have more info on hand. This hose is designed for race cars.
