I believe the top line is supposed to have a bend in it, and runs down
rather than up.  It goes below the boot board, then around the front of the
tank to the other side (LH) where it goes forward along with the vapor line.

The attached snippets are from the early Repair Operations Manual (in the
brown cover).

Well, thats how it ended up going on.  Thanks for the pictures; I hadnt seen those before.  The key seems to be to orient the top banjo bolt so that the fuel line is riding against the lower banjo bolt.  The other edge rides against the egr box.  Wasn't as bad as I thought once I got some light on the subject.

The other thing that helps alot is to install the banjo bolts and the rubber fuel hose and clamps with the whole assembly on the bench, then install the whole thing in the car rather than trying to install the hoses and tighten the banjo bolts with it installed in the car.  Also helps to mark the banjo bolt orientation with the pump temp installed in the car, then tighten them on the bench.

Whole thing took less than an hour.  On to start bending copper fuel lines....

A side note on Stag fuel pumps.

The Facet-brand solid-state pumps are very popular and work well.  If you
do put one in, don't put it in the stock location.  They need to be mounted
as low as possible, or they can lose prime (especially at altitude).  I
believe that is the reason for the problems that uncle jack had with Facet
pumps.  I have uncle jack's pump relocated to the front of the bottom of
the fuel tank enclosure, to the left of the fuel tank where the spare tire
can't hit it.
