Default Fuel lines?

I know this has been covered before, but I can't seem to find it right now...

98 LS1 is in the car, and I'm ready to run the fuel lines for the supply. This is my plan:

Run a Tanks, Inc. in-tank pump with 255-lph Warlbro pump into either
A) -6AN fuel line to the quick-disconnect fitting on the fuel rail, OR
B) Jeg's 3/8 fuel line to the fuel rail

I will use my stock fuel line as a return, and retain the original sending unit so i can keep a fuel level guage.

Before I start ordering parts, could someone check me and make sure I'm not missing anything somewhere...will the Jeg's lines work just fine, 'cus they'd save some money?...I have a tube bender, so that's no problem.

I don't need ANOTHER in-line fuel pump, do I? Since this is a '98 F-body fuel rail, I DO NOT need the vette fpr/filter, correct? I do plan on running a fuel filter, of course, but I don't need to get that piece...right? I'm kinda a newb to fuel injection, so thanks for being kind and patient.

I have a '99 LS1 in my '67 Chevy II and in trying to keep the stock look I found adaptors from Lingenfelter for the supply and vapor return quick connect lines.These connect to NPT threads which I will then connect to my 3/8" aluminum tubing.

It all depends on what you want the end result to look like!

I am also using the tanks inc setup.You will need the corvette fuel filter/regulator if you use the f-body rail (97-98 corvette rails have the regulator on them)

Are you sure? I've had a few people tell me I don't need the Corvette filter/regulator since it is a 98 Camaro fuel rail...?

Just making sure.

Your check list is pretty good. If you have to run the vette regulator.... Just put it near the tank and prevent having to run a long *** return line.

I too am wondering about this, I want to run a tank from Rick's Hot Rods, a 3/8 line and I have a 98 F body fuel rail, do I need a return line??? or the Vette FPR/ filter, I was going to run a F body filter, Rybar might know, he has a Ricks tank,

A 98 Camaro fuel rail is no different than a 99-02 Camaro fuel rail. You will need an external fuel pressure regulator (either the Corvette filter/regulator or an aftermarket). The only LS1 factory application that had a built in fuel pressure regulator was the 97-98 Corvette. This is easily identified by the dual lines on the fuel rail (1 feed, 1 return).
