Help with building 6AN feed line. I need a longer 6an (-6?.. Is that too small?) feed line going to my rails. I need about 2.5 feet of -6 line, the fittings for one end to thread into a -6 fitting at my rail (90*) and on the other end I need the fitting that will plug into the stock steel fuel line near the driver's side frame rail. -I'd like the hard line to braided adapter to be a 45* swivel, if possible.
I searched on thunder racing but I'm not finding much. I'll check Jegs while I'm at it. The cross over is a -8, btw.

Just check this stuff over for me.
Found the 90 I needed through Jegs.

Would this work?? (quick disconnect)

For reference; This is the feed line I'm looking to replace. Pretty sure it's a dash 6.

Although the Aeromotive adapter you referenced is -6, it can only be hooked to a 5/16" hard line, which is the size of the factory EVAP line. The factory feed hard line is 3/8", so you'd need an Aeromotive part #15118, and you'll also need an Aeromotive part #15605 -8ORB to -6AN adapter/reducer to make it all work (those Aeromotive quick connect fittings all require an o-ring boss to AN adapter).
I'd also personally recommend you think about using a teflon core line instead of the synthetic rubber core braided line most use...over time, the additives in the fuel will break the rubber down and the line will start allowing fumes to pass into the atmosphere. There's another thread in here that already talks about that a few posts down from this one.

I got it guys. Stopped by a local shop and their customer service was MUCH better this time. He ordered up what I needed and said it should be in tmrw. He said it was indeed a teflon core line. He was a bit puzzled because it looked like a nitrous or PS line. He found it and it was recommended for use with gasoline also.
I'd like to support the local guy.
I really appreciate the time and advice guys. Didn't mean to post a BS thread, but I thought of that shop after I posted this.
