Default Fuel line questions

I need some help here guys I installed a ls1 into my 95 Z. I need to get the fuel hooked up so I can drive this car finally. I put a 99 vette filter/regulator where the stock filter goes. I have the line to the front connected already. I need help on how and what to run to the feed and return side from the tank to the filter/regulator. Anyone able to help me out here? Thanks in advance!

Default Well...

You have to have a return fuel port connection at your fuel tank. Connect this to the return nipple on the Vette regulator/filter. Its labeled on the regular, which is return & which is fuel supply(in).

The 3/8 is the input to the filter/regulator and the 5/16 is the return to the tank.

What type of connection, if any, does the original line have on it?

if you are using the stock LT1 fuel rail connections on the filter/reg and trying to connect it to the stock plastic lines then you can get the part needed from Advance Auto. It's in the fuel repair section.
