Written this way because of the many various ways manufacturers and chassis builders configure their cars.

You can put the fuel lines on the outside of the frame rails for a Nova, they will still be with-in the confines of the steel body. If you had a car with a perimeter frame such as a g-body or chevelle, they would need to be on the inside of the frame.

Thanks Tom, I wondered about the "steel body" terminology and thought that technically speaking I'm good. Like I said before, I think I'm much safer having it outside the frame and tucked up near the floor board which is steel too.

Many years ago, Cecil County had me change mine 3 weeks in a row. I painted it black and they never said anything again.

This was a long time ago. I had it run on the inside of the frame rail and the tech guy said it couldn't be there. So I moved it to the outside of the frame and said it couldn't be there either. I moved it back to the inside and painted it black.
