there is no mustang shop that carries 1/2" line, pre-bent. 3/8 or 5/16 sure, but not 1/2".
If you want 1/2" you'll need to run it yourself, I did on my'67:

how do I install it? I cant get to the rest of the info on your guys page.

:
buy a coil of 1/2" alum tubing from McMaster.com
unroll it and use clamps to secure it under the car.
use -AN hose and fittings to connect to components.
it's not a hard task, but takes planning... e.g. do you plan to have a 1/2" pickup from the tank? If not, 1/2" line doesn't help you.
why do you want 1/2" anyway?

I thought I would try doin what you guys did in "High on Carbs" except use a ATI supercharger. This 1/2" line will still work if Im usin a fuel cell, right?

ok, yes a 1/2" line is neccesary if you are running boost. However as we pointed out in that article, you must have 1/2" from the tank to the pump, otherwise it is not going to help. This means you need to pull the stock pick-up unit and have someone braze/weld in a 1/2" tube + fitting.
It's a lot of work, but it will pay off. The articles I mentioned above show you how step by step./
