I need to adapt my stock fuel lines to my new Edelbrock fuel rails/intake. I want to keep the stock lines all the way up to the fuel rail, but I dont know how to connect it to the Earl's elbow. I was thinking of even welding the stock fuel line fitting to a Earl's fitting. Is there a adaptor that would connect the stock fuel line to a Earl's fittng?

here is what I mean...

nasty has a quick dissconnect fitting that should work but i think u will still have to run a short braided line to use it

 

thats fine, but it will connect to a Earl's fitting with the quick disconnect?

p.s. hows the HiFlo coming along?

 

ttt ttt

 

has anyone tried this fitting?

what size are the factory fuel lines?

 

i just posted some stuff about it

u should really give nasty a call im sure they have it, but that other fitting from summit looks good but i dont know the exact specs. all that work and ur gonna run stock lines?

 

hmmm.. you could try (not my best recommendation, but it could work):
1) a Doman's tubing #800-155 that has the correct barb on it for the GM Q/D. Plug it into the GM Q/D, then bend the rest of the tubing around and cut it to size to where your -AN fitting is on the rail and use a compression or flare fitting/adapter to the -AN fitting on your fuel rail ...

2) Dorman also makes repair kits for the GM type of fuel lines and fittings, you might want to look into those to come up with other options.

Question: If you are mod'in your system to this extent, why would you want to retain the OEM lines and fittings? From the looks of you system, you plan on pump'in some high output (HP/TQ) .... is the 3/8" (or what ever size the OEM comes out to) enough for your HP requirements ?

That adapter you see is only 5/16", good for your return line ! wouldn't suggest it for your feed. Do they make a -6 or 3/8" one ?

I would really suggest you just back down the fuel line to a hard point and use a compression/flare to -AN fitting and then run Stainless Steel or other types of tubing up to your Earl's AN fitting.

good luck.. my input from a too late night thinking session! (sometimes there good, LOL).

 

They sell a quick disconnect that connects to the hard line on the chassis.Then you just get rid of the factory plastic line and use a braided line.It is also a good idea to run a return line from the rails to the tank at this time so you don't lean out cyl. #8.

 

I dont remember reading about adding a return line like this before. Is there a simple write up about it??

 

that quick disconnect fitting on the rear of your fuel rails should unscrew leaving a standard like 6AN fitting. Thats how you attach it to your rails.. You could also unscrew the entire piece from the end of the fuel rails leaving you what looks like a 3/8" NPT female end..

The stock feed line is 3/8" diameter.

 

I have the stock line to -6 fittings in stock. Give me a ring if you want one.

 

i have seen two diff fittings that do what you wont the nasty quick connect
and a fitting by earls i used the earls fitting my self it worked great

 

There are a few ways to get it done I have a couple fittings that we could use to set it up BUT

My thoughts exactly why in the world are you adapting the stock lines to that setup? If you are going that route I would think you would certianly need more fuel than that. We are running that intake on our shop car and it is coupled with our Stage 1 Race kit.
