Default Need AN braided lines to finish my install

what lines quick connect to the factory undercarriage lines?

I know they are 3/8 and 5/16 lines with the fuel psi regulator. I need lines that can connect to my factory undercarriage lines and to the fuel rail. THen connect to the AFPR and back to the return line..

What do I need to finish this?

Any one have a parts list for this?

PIX maybe?

Im also using a 98 corvette fuel rail with the return line built in the rail.

thx

Russell makes an -AN to Hardline adapter in a few sizes.

That tends to fly off and burn your car down.

I've never seen or heard of this. Crazy...

I however used it as a non-pressure return and ran my own new supply....

The updated fittings work fine. Make sure they thread on. The push on style were problematic.

I don't care if the fitting is "updated." I wouldn't give my money to any company that can't make a decent part to begin with.

Pure Choice makes an excellent fitting that uses a double flare on one end and goes to AN -6

Ill attest to that fitting coming off...I was driving down a back road and it blew off the fuel rail and hosed my motor but by the grace of god it did not burn my car to the ground.

I do think it was partly my fault seeing as there is two plastic clips and I think I only had one fully engaged. But, a fuel fitting should be ERROR PROOF and IDIOT PROOF.

The newer threaded collar fittings from russell work great. I would steer clear of the plastic clip ones though

You'll get 10 different opinions. I believe the Pure Choice solution is superior because it converts the push fitting to a SAE 45 degree double flare. You probably already own the tool to make the flare and it is suitable for high pressure use. Remember that 45 degree double flare is what's used on the brake system.

You probably get annoyed having to keep repeating this info (I have seen you do it in more than one post) but thank you for doing so because I finally saw it and am very glad to have the information.

I don't get annoyed. People can do what they want to do with their car. I have just been playing with cars for almost 30 years and I have learned things along the way, and I just happen to think what I posted is the best solution. If people want to do something else, no skin off my back. It's not my car that will get burned down to ashes...LOL
