My First Project Ever- 84 Regal Limited w/ Pontiac 400

Good news: T-350 is common, strong, available, fixable. Bad news: it is almost impossible to feed a one-piece fuel line from the motor to the fuel tank with the body on the frame- and that's how the factory did it. Better news: I ran brand new fuel line by NOT routing it exactly like the factory did. I just went around the obvious impossible road blocks and I used five foot double flared sections connected with proper unions. I know- double flaring is for brake lines. True. So I'm a belt-and-braces kind of guy. Since fuel supply line operates under suction you can get away with straight cut lines connected with compression fittings. The return line is very low pressure too. Either way works.

Maybe I'm ignorant, but I'm pretty sure my fuel line is pressurized and not under vacuum since the fuel pump is in the back

No, not ignorant. The car came with a suction type fuel pump stock. If someone installed an electric pusher pump at the rear- then that changes things. Now you probably should make any connections double flared and use unions.

Stock there weren't in tank pumps unless the car had the TBI 4.3 or the turbo 3.8 to my recollection. Everything else used a mechanical pump. Listen and see if you can hear a fuel pump at all in the tank. You probably would've noticed one of those parts store clicky clacky pumps while you were crawling under the car. Alternatively, disconnect the rubber line from the pump to the line, and try and start it. See if gas comes out. If not, no pump. I doubt someone would go through all that trouble when a stock mechanical pump works just fine, but then again they did rip the vapor line off.

Have better luck in the for sale section, or your craigslist.

No hurry to sell. Both cases need to be degreased just a little so they're able to be picked up without them slipping away lol
