Here's a pic, it's not the best setup. 8032109-S5004881.JPG (191 downloads)

But, do they make an adapter that will connect -6an line to a stock small block fuel pump ? Or will I end up buying an aftermarket fuel pump ?

Normal SAE fittings are cut at 45, but you can step up to hydraulic fittings JIC (Joint Industry Council) that are 37 and made of steel. So you need to go from a Pipe Thread in the pump to a JIC that fits the pretty AN line.

You'd likely have to shorten the hard line in the pic then just run the neoprene line you have up to the barb pointing out to the side rather than at the rear as before.

You need one lousy AN fitting or adapter and the only way to find these darn things are online so the fitting costs 4 bucks and they whack you 5 bucks for shipping. Arghhh. I even have an airport near me with maintenance facilities and they tell me I am S.O.L.

More common [steel] JIC fittings, used on tractor hydraulics, interchange with AN thread and flare.

Also, aircraft grade are a better class of fit than the cheaper automotive grade. If you want the real thing goto http://www.gen-aircraft-hardware.com/ and the prices are about the same as the retailers.

That's why I was trying to get this all figured out first so I could order everything I need all at once. I would buy the carb. AN adapter fitting for the AN male thread and the order a 45 or 90 degree AN female fitting for the hose, see if you want a straight AN female fitting on the other end of the AN hose to attch to the pump or use NPT adapter fitting to a 45 or 90 degree adapter for that end or not. If you buy female ends with 45 or 90 ends on them make sure and buy sweep fittings instead of elbow fittings BTW, I would buy the teflon lined hose,TFE, instaed of the neopreme lined hose. If you can get Viton lined fuel hose that will work also, make double sure the AN fittings and hoses are the same application, don't try and mix TFE fittings with neopreme or viton hose or vise a versus Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

Get an ind hyd fitting 2404-06-04 for the fuel pump (6JICx1/4npt). Go to a shop that sells Gates hose and get 4' of -6 LOL Plus (NHRA approved) or an Aeroquip shop and get FC332-6 (also approved). Now find fittings similar to 33982-06-06 (90deg push on hose fitting) and you have your fuel line solved. The end result is two 90's on the fuel line and a straight coming out of the carb and pump. No clamps and beyond simple to assemble.
