Default Plumbing the fuel system

I have a 72 chevelle conversion. I'm going to use the GN tank, can some one help me out with all the fitting.

The fitting off the tank to convert to a -6an line?
How do you go about running the return line to this style tank?
Thanks
Jay

That looks pretty cool. How well does the tank fit the car though?

Suppose to fit fine with there straps. The filler neck is just off centered and has to be modified. The GN tank are baffaled etc so no fuel issues, can get everything brand new for a little over $400.

I have a little ways to go, need to finish the rolling frame and get the body back on.

Is there a way to convert the sending unit like this to accept An fittings? I know racetronix sell one already made but I want to see if there is another way to do that so I can save a few bucks.

Are there any threads that shows how to run the hoses from the fuel tank up to the fuel rails? If so please post the link. I searched & couldn't find anything.

You could cut the flared tip and perhaps:

they also make them for -3 and -4 for the smaller line.

what do you mean by 'how'?

I am using steel line, 3/8 feed and 5/16 return.. taking them from a rear crossmember near the fuel tank, to the chassis at the front of the cab (its a truck), then rubber line up to the manifold using the stock style connectors.
I thought about braided stainless, but as its all hidden, why waste the money.

and using rubber hose from the rear of the steel lines to the tank (return) and tank to filter(LowPressure) to pump(Walbro 255lph external) to filter (HighPressure)
