Yes exactly!.....In general use, rubber grommets with steel fuel lines passing through them can degrade with time...The '57 GH fuel delivery setup was pretty much 'bullet proof'! PS...As an economy measure, Studrbaker went to the 'grommet' setup on the 1958 Golden & Packard Hawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
