Yes, it's a good start  :)
Only 2 of those clamps are needed for all the fuel line..? I'm looking into NPD but can't find them.
So, these ones on pic not needed..?

What to solve the automatic line cut.? Replace I suppose.! But difficult for me to do that..


 

Given your location, it might be easier for an experienced tubing bender to make a very close reproduction set, right in town where you live.

Assuming ONLY the radiator connections have been modified (would need to see other pictures of this detail) you could use the rear halves as a template, then
print pictures of what Jeff posted, carefully remove what you have without bending them, (at least you are a straight six engine, a little easier than other engine options) and assure you have (or obtain) the correct radiator fittings to do that end correctly. Those fittings on the radiator are more or less "Ford specific", not as universal as the other end that connects to the transmission. Once you have the correct fittings and a person who has a tubing bender tool, a couple of sticks of 5/16" steel tubing is all you would need. Rolled tubing is another option & is easier for shipping but straightening out rolled tubing is not too fun.

Thanks for the tip 67gtasanjose,

Since this looks difficult, I think I let it be as it it's by now. In the future I will see what I can do and will decide.
Maybe when I have to replace radiator, then will see..

They are not needed for the fuel line to carb. Don't know what you have at the fuel pump but those would be the ones used between the fuel pump and the main fuel line to the gas tank

That's what I have found on Internet for these reusable band spring clamps, are they size correct to proceed..?

Well went through my pictures again and here is the final thought. Sorry hate to go back and forth but some of these details aren't easy for cars that haven't been researched allot

The spring style clamps is what came with the new replacement carb filters These replaced the pinch style the cars left the factory with so we're back to my original suggestion. The 5/16th fuel line pinch clamps that NPD carries that use a special style of pliers . Part number 9324-1K $1.29 for the pair you will need. Might want to get 4 just because, Bottom line it you need the correct info and at this point I believe you have it. SOrry again

Alright Jeff, please don't be sorry..! You're helping me a lot.
So, 4 pairs or just 4 pieces you mean..?
Then, these clamps and the special pliers.

Thank you

Hi,

Where is this hose placement..? Looks like from tank fuel to pump is one metallic line, and another from pump to carb, so, this rubber concours hose, where do I have to place..?
