   Brian,
   The stock setup was a metal pipe from the pump to just short of the
   carb, then a short length of rubber hose to connect it to the carb.
   I believe on the fuel pump end, it used standard flared tubing
   connectors:

   Assuming you have a brake tubing flaring tool, this is extremely easy
   to do.
   The 2-3 inch rubber hose is an important detail to provide vibration
   isolation. If the hard like was solid from one end to the other, I
   guess they thought it might fatigue and crack.
   The line was clamped to the front of the engine, I believe using some
   of the threaded holes on the front of the cylinder head? I can't
   remember though. You can clamp it wherever you like but be sure to use
   vibration-damping Adel clamps:
