I recently bought a stock 3/8" fuel line for my 1969 Nova, then I decided to do a LS swap. I don't want to eat the cost of the line if I don't have to. Is there an adapter that will allow me to use this original style fuel line, which use a typical worm gear hose clamp, and AN style lines?

Yes, it's a compression fitting on one end, and -AN inverted flare, or female on the other end, depending on how you want to go.....Jeg's or Summit carry them.

Thanks Tom. Is this it? If so, I'd have to cut the oem line, put a nut on it, and then reflare it...right?

I got this from my local speed shop and it is 3/8 to female -6AN. I also have 3/8 to male -6AN I just don't have a pic of the male one. I used to adapt braided line to fuel rail.

No, it is the one 99vette posted. Cut off the 3/8 hard line, clean the inside end a little, slide the fitting on and tighten it, the brass compression ring tightens down around the tubing. Then just just carry on with -AN from there....

I run AN compression fittings on the hard lines of my carb'd swap. The only warning is most brands are only rated to something like 50 psi. I would have no issues running them with FI pressures, but just so you know.

And it's way cheaper than braided steel.

I have those fittings in stock from XRP, from hardline to either male or female 6AN

Was just looking for a solution to my setup, looks like this will do the trick. Thanks for the helpful posts guys.

Since we're adapting the lines here, what adapters work for the corvette fuel filter and ls1 intake quick connect? I am using a ford fuel pump but i think they use standard 3/8 and 5/16 like the corvette fuel filter. I read about some of them not locking on right and needing to be replaced.
thanks

These should be what you want.

do those work better than the aeromotive ones that summit and jegs sell for 35.95 ea. the ones you found look like they lock on better and they have a male AN - that's what i want.
thank you again
