Default fuel set-up for ls swap Into 73 87 chevy truck

Hey people! I have a mind boggling question hoping find some answers. I have a 5.3 with a howards cam backed with a 700r4 12bolt 3.73s. Its in my 74 c10 stepside. Everything is done but I don't have a clue as to route a fuel system. I bought a fuel sending unit for a 87 silverado so I can run my pump in-tank but the thing is where do I go by running the fuel hoses to keep them from coming off. I have a340lph pump vette filter n fittings. I have a Russell fuel rail fitting. Is there some fittings out there that can slip on to fuel outlets on the sending unit so I can run my line? As I say I want to keep my stock tank if not will a 88 91 fuel tank bolt up to my truck with tank mounted on passenger side. Sorry for the paragraph WILL anyone ease the pain I'm goin through

You need these Russell fittings from Summit.
Make sure you get the new style with the screw on locking collar.
Not the old style with the push on lock.

Ok thanks but will they work on the outlets on the sending unit. I know the -6 didn't fit so I need a -8 BUT need to screw 3/8 line into it

Those are avialible in -6 and -8. With the proper adapters they will work.
