Fuel system question by Newb Im trying to build a fuel system for my 69 camaro LS1 swap. Trying to do it as cheap as possible using Summit racing fuel cell and pump and have 0 knowledge on fuel systems. The cell has -8an fittings and the pump has barbs, can I just put the hose over the barbs on the pump and use a hose clamp to secure? The pump operates at up to 85 psi and Im concerned the hose clamps wont hold.

Does the pump have barbs or barbed fittings, because if it has barbed fittings, you can just change them out for AN fittings. you should not see 85psi anyway if your running a fuel pressure regulator. I think stock ls1's operate at 58psi

I appreciate your input however Im not concerned with the quality of Summit's pump. Why spend twice as much on an Aeromotive or other "Name Brand" pump when this car will just see occasional use on a stock LT1? I have purchased tons of "Summit" branded items over the years with no problems.
All I need to know is will a worm clamp hold. I will be using Summit's Push Loc hose connected to a sump on my stock tank with AN fittings.
