Fuel line adapters, vette filter in a ford

Trying to get my fuel system assembled and can’t seem to find the right combination of fittings. I need to get from the outlet of the Vette filter (Wix 33737) which is a 3/8” quick disconnect to a 5/16” quick disconnect. My application requires a male fitting on each end, the overall length needs to be 5” or less. In order to put the Vette filter in the stock mustang location I need to make this a straight shot, no 45’s or 90’s.

I haven’t had any success with finding the right combo of parts thru Dorman, anybody have any suggestions?

You can 37 degree flare them then join with a AN male to male union.

Would something like either of these fittings work?

The first two fittings connected by the third fitting should be 3-4" in length I'd guess.

Shoot me PM if these fitting will work for you, I have some that I won't be using.

A combo of the last 3 should work. Couldn't find the coupler, thanks!

This is what I am using on my mustang to keep the filter in the stock location. But I have 3/8 outlet on my car. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LS1-LS6-Fuel-line-3-8-Push-Connect-to-3-8-Push-Connect-/271431960024?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f329b05d8&vxp=mtr
