Stock fuel feed to AN adaptor I have a 2002 Silverado, and I am going to get the victor jr. carb intake with EFI setup. I am going to need to somehow convert the main fuel feed line to adapt to an AN fitting for the FP regulator, then to fuel rails. I have searched, but have not came up with any results that I can find. Anyone know which fitting I would need to utilize this setup?
Thanks.

Got the same problem here. I found a solution though. If you can get your hands on a couple of old '87-'95 TBI fittings that screw directly into the TBI throttle body , you can retap the threads on the male side to accept AN fittings . Problem solved .Should be able to get these at most any junkyard and they will work with the O-rings , too.

Of course this doesn't have AN thread. My Radix came with a fitting like this but with -6 AN o-ring male end. I had a hard time finding an adapter to -6 AN flare though(I'm adding a regulator and return line). My fitting would screw directly into the regulator port but I will be installing my regulator on the return side of the rails(parallel setup) so I need a hose from the reg to the fitting which will connect to the factory supply line, which will become my return line. You could possibly cut the male end off of the fuel rail plumbing, a fuel filter that has the same connector, or an old fuel line and put a weld on male AN taper fitting on it or a metal tubing adapter to AN flare.
If you are planning on installing the regulator before the rails and you could find a fitting like the one that comes on the Radix, just screw it into a -6AN port on the regulator and plug the reg directly into the factory quick connect.
Here's a pic of that fitting:
