I seem to recall a special Lycoming P/N fuel line fitting #6 all steel

that threads into the carb with a jam nut with a "O" ring to seal. You

have a normal aluminum fitting threaded into the carb. I would go with

the steel fitting.



Now for your clearance problem. Can the 90 degree carb fitting rotate

up and a 45 fitting be added to route your feed line away from the

exhaust work ? I have used universal steel 45's and 90's (JIC) #6 to do

such routing.



I also recall the Lycoming steel nipple being "O" ringed just for this

case where you need exact orientation AND fuel sealing. Without the "O"

ring thingy you are at the mercy of snugging the tapered pipe threaded

fitting of the standard fitting down to disallow fluid leaking but not

aligning as needed......

 This is the small fuel line instead of the called out longer one.  My

 issue,

 the instructions call a 45 degree fitting to come out of the carb.

If I

 that, the fuel line passes right over the exhaust.  The 90 degree

fitting

 see in the picture, the fuel line make a 90 degree "curve" that "just

 right".  More here, the firesleeves rubs the engine mount which will
