Since I am switching my coronet to efi, and needed a new fuel line and return, this seemed like a good way to go. I bought the 5/16th size tubing. But I realized, I have no idea how to hook this into the regular fuel line setup. It has no give like rubber, plus I don't really want to hose clamp the stuff. I have to get it to 3/8's barb fitting, 5/16 barb fitting on this pump. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail...mp;autoview=sku Then run it up front to a this filter http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail...mp;autoview=sku then to this fuel regulator with an -10 fittings, which feets found the adapter to get it down to a 3/8's npt fitting for the fuel filter and the outlet http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail...mp;autoview=sku Plus from the an-6 return on the regulator to the 5/16 or whatever size pipe we put into the sending unit. Any ideas?

I just don't know if I can use Home Depot type compression fittings or if it requires something special. We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse.

It looks like all the parts are going to run me around 80 bucks anyway. Might have been better off buying braided hose, but oh well.
