Thanks!

Do you mean 3/8 quick disconnect on both ends? Never seen one like that, but you could use a -6 coupler to connect 2 Russell fittings.

Thanks for the answers!

I'm talking about is there a place where I can buy something like what the guy in a post in this thread posted up (put his pic below) and you also have in your picuture as well?

That's the only piece I have left in my fuel system plans.

Thanks!

We make them here in the shop for our projects, but I thought someone said they were available at part stores in different lengths.

Are you talking bout the corvette filter/regulartor? If so, you replace it just like you would any other fuel filter in a car. A friend who worked at a Chevy dealership told me it's recommended by GM ever 25K miles to replace the filters, don't know if this one is different in that regard though. Hope that answers your question.

I've looked around for them and haven't been able to find any. If anybody knows of where I can find one please let me know.

If not, could you PM with me how much you'd charge to make one of them up for me and ship it to GA?

Thanks!

I think you are talking about the line I'm looking for and if so I'll have to go and take a look and see if I can find it.

Thanks!

Yes, I'm doing the same, running mine along the frame rail. I wanted the shorter one because I think it makes for a cleaner looking installation. But the shortest length I can find localy is 12". I guess I need to find someone with one of those trick flaring tools!

Hey, I happened to talk to a friend of mine tonight and his shop has that flaring tool so it looks as if I'm all set!! He said to buy the 12" one, cut it off where I wanted it and he'd flare it for me.

summit lists those fuel rail adapters as a 3/8" and 5/16" to 10mm. i thought they were -6 AN?

The Summit description is wrong, the Russell part #'s are correct.
