I just finished such a project on one of my Jensens (they originally
used a nylon-ish fuel line front-to-rear) -- running a new 3/8 aluminum
line and adapting it to the original 5/16 sender line.   Not hard if you
use AN fittings.   I just used a brass compression fitting on the 5/16
sender line (compression on one end, pipe thread on the other), then a
pipe-to-AN adapter on top of that.   Flared the aluminum tubing with a
37-degree RoloFlare tool (those RoloFlare tools ROCK, BTW), another AN
adapter at the fuel pump, and I was done.

I'd bite the bullet and install a new fuel line front to rear. You will
still need to drop the tank -- I bet the old sock filter is clogged.
Order one for an early Mustang, it fits the 5/16" line just right. Use
5/16" brake line to run a new fuel line. You can get it in 5' lengths
and use a coupler in the middle. You can get 3/8" aluminum line in rolls
from any race/hot-rod shop, but it's hard to adapt to the 5/16" pickup
line.
