So I am trying to run fuel to my LS1 iron block. I have a WIX 33737 fuel filter/regulator.

On the outlet side I will be running a stainless braided hose to the fuel rails. I have this hard line AN 3/8" hard tube to -6AN hose adapter.

Question is, how do I get the outlet from the fuel filter down to 3/8" hard tube so I can adapt the 3/8" tube to my -6AN braided hose? I did a search and came up with the below thread, and it looks like a Swagelok union was used to reduce the outlet to a 3/8" hard tube. I went to their site but am stumped as to which connector I need. I'm not sure why this is giving me so much trouble![Bang Head](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_banghead.gif)
