Default Fuel pics!

Anyone using they're stock 3/8th fuel line and the Corvette filter/regulator ? I would really appreciate it if you could post pics of the fittings used to make it work.

I used a Dorman 800-155 tube cut in half, and a Swagelok SS-600-6 compression union fitting to attach it to my 3/8 stainless fuel line:

Notice it has the 3/8th male fitting there. I'm trying to figure out how do I get that fitting connected to the Corvette filter? And then from the filter up to the engine via the stock fuel lines.

Man, ANY thread that's titled "Fuel Pics!" absolutely needs to include pics similar to the one below:


Using a title like that for an ordinary "what fittings do I need?" post is just WRONG...

Here's a fitting to go from -6AN to the "quick connect" inlet of the vette filter/regulator:

Inbetween those two you'll need something like this (or a hose with AN fittings):
