Your car came from the factory with a short piece of hose there, but it's 
special hose, not fuel hose. The original hose has a light blue external braid 
and is more compatable with brake fluid than fuel hose will be. After all these 
years, it's hard to tell the difference between a dirty blue hose and an 
incorrect black fuel hose. If your hose has a rubber jacket, it's not the right 
hose.

I have the 8mm (mid '67-on) hose, but not the early stuff, which I THINK was 
5mm.
