I'm about to run all new fuel lines for my Sniper EFI on my 71 Challenger. With the fuel filter in line, I'll have 4 ends on the feed side.

I was planning on just flaring the ends, add some EFI style clamps and be done. A few friends said that will leak and I should use use a setup like this.

What do you think?

I've never had a problem doing single 37 degree flares but I do cut the tube with a hacksaw to avoid work hardening that occurs with a tubing cutter. I also use a burnishing style flaring tool.

flare with a pair of hose clamps will work just fine. you'll create more headaches with that setup that you show. if anything go right to an fittings from the tube and skip the rubber hose

You got the Master Kit that includes the pump and filters? I did my Sniper system 3/8" Ni-Copp. Just flare the tube and use AN fittings with hose ends (not barbed) and fuel injection clamps.

That's a good idea on the AN fittings.

No, I pieced mine together. I learned what filter they used (Corvette TBI Filter) and a Spectra EFI tank.

I got a reman'd Sniper setup.
