Default Help with fuel line ends

I ordered a prebent stainless 3/8" fuel line for my 66 GTO, now that I'm doing an LS swap I have a question about the ends on this line. I don't have a picture handy but it looks like this only difference is where it builds away from the line there isn't an angle its a perfect 90, but this was the closet thing I could find





Is there a way that I can adapt to AN fittings for this type of end or do I need to do something else?

Thanks alot!!

Are you talking about a standard SAE J2044 style fitting (factory push-connect)?

No I don't think so. The end of the line has this "bulb" for a better word at the end of it. I think its on there simply to prevent the old rubber line from backing off of the stainless line. I will probably have to get a picture.

These pics show the end of the fuel line. What can I do to connect up to the LY6 truck intake fuel line?

You would need to cut that end off. Then get a AN nut & sleeve to put on the end of the line & reflare. This will allow you to run an AN braided line to the engine from there.

Thanks for the info. That line was installed with the body off the car and it was even hard to do then. I only have 1" of line sticking out of that hole something tells me this is going to be a project.
