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!

you can find the 12 inch length line @ most part stores. its too long and has to be cut and ididnt want to cut the line and use a compresion fitting so i made mine shorter with my own snap on flaring tool

I'll have to see if I can find it... I don't think the length will be an issue since I'll be running it along the frame rail. I just want something to adapt it back over to an AN fitting is all I really care about.

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!

I hear you onthe cleaner install but since I don't know where to get my hands on one of those flaring tools the 12" one I picked up from Autozone tonight will have to do.

Thanks for the people that suggested going to Autozone to pick that part up.

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.

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