George, forgive me if it's none of my business, but your picture looks like an engine fire waiting to happen. A plastic fuel filter, hoses attached with non-positive action clamps, and right next to the distributor.

Every car I have has braided Russell type hose where fuel is under pressure. That may be over doing it, but a proper metal fuel filter from Summit and decent clamps like the one you have between hose and pipe would make me sleep better at night.

And is it resting or sometimes touching the acc cable? If so that could lead to a leakage or even a stuck-open throttle blade.

Worst case scenario, I know, just my $0.02
