Or you can cut the metal tip out of the factory fuel to rail lines. Squeeze the end into your -6an and put a small worm gear on the end.

Ive done this to two cars and it works fine.

Did you remember to pop the factory fuel return out of the tank.

Ill run and take a picture..

We have proper AN fittings in stock for that. Clamp is never a good idea with the high pressures the LS runs.

You can also use a -AN to Tube fitting like this. If you don't have room to keep the stock fuel line in that location.

i cut apart the stock fuel line too and pressed the stock fitting into a -6 line but it is scary to me, i bought a fitting from a local place, fitting was made by russell, said -6an to ls1,lt1,lt4 pressure side....this fitting did not work!

If you can use a pushlock fitting, summit racing has these.

You have a return, however, it's way in the back. LS1 factory fuel rails are returnless, the system is not.

Bringing back an old thread but what did you do about the stock fuel filter? Are you reverse flowing it or did you delete it? Thanks.
