) Yup, those pics are my car. I haven't started the car with the new motor yet so I hesitate to comment on how well they seal.

I'm guessing you haven't used a compression fitting yet -- once you do it'll be pretty self explanatory.. They way they work is this:
1. Put the line nut on the hard line (the red piece in the photos)..
2. Put the compression ring (ferrule) on the line, inside the line nut..
3. Thread the fitting (blue part) and the line nut together, and it will compress the ferrule until it bites into the hard line -- creating a very tight seal.
Very fast, inexpensive, and reliable

How do I remove the fuel line that enters the fuel rail? I've been supplied with the fancy braided hoses and adaptors but can't seem to the original off - I've removed the clip and the rubber bit, but the rest doesn't want to budge (it feels loose but won't slide right off).
Do I just need to pull harder?

Solved my own problem:
The fuel connector has 4 sprung tabs inside that act as barbs to grip it to the fuel pipe:
I bent a small piece of copper tube around the pipe and slid it into the connector, depressing the springs. One small tap with my hand and it was easily removed:

Back from the dead!
I really worry about a compression fittings leaking and engine fire...
Is it worth the $30 to just get the one that goes in the GM quick connect and not worry about leakage? Im tempted to go that way for peace of mind...
