    I am working on running the new fuel lines for my sniper system. Combination of 3/8 in hard line and -6 braided steel lines. My fuel pump an electric EFI MSD. my problem is how to connect either the hard line or the -6 to the pumps 3/8 barbed only fitting.

    Right now it is going slow, it takes forever to heat the garage warm enough to work in. But as it gets warmer it will go faster. I want to have the wagon to drive to Bowling Green in May.

    Thanks

    I used Russell Performance fittings for 3/8 stainless to AN fittings and had Pegasus make the braided with AN fittings

    If you want, I can post pics and part numbers.

    I did both my '64 and '68 from tank to EFI with stainless and braided steel, the same way.

    I'm using my (hard to do/see anything) phone but can get to my computer later.

    I like the third one Ben shows above. Haven't seen that style before.

    What brand of braided steel hoses are you using? You can't use one brand of hose and another brand hose end. You can mix and match fittings between brands, but not hose ends. Just go on Summits website and put in hose ends. Then put in the brand. Just keep narrowing down your choices in the menus. Eventually you'll narrow it down to the correct ends. I would highly recommend using PTFE lined hose. It stands up to all fuels and oils.

    Thanks for the info. The Racetronix piece is exactly what I was looking for.

    For hoses, fittings and hose ends you can't go wrong with BMRS. Their hoses are super slick, lightweight and durable but not cheap.

    Peace,
