Hey all,

I'm in a delemma about what to do. Considering that they are steel lines, they should be able to hold the 45 lbs pressure that Fuel Injection requires, and they are on the correct side (drivers side). I'm planning on going with an external pump. What worries me is on the engine side of the fuel lines. I'm assuming that they don't have the same connections that a fuel injected car would (it's carbed). Could I just cut and reflare the ends? (and use AN fittings) Are these by chance the same ends that a fuel injected car would have? I still have the plastic line from the LT1, so I was going to use that for the fuel line to the engine.

Thanks,

Keith

well if the plastic line doesnt work go to your local welding shop and pick up "lp gas " propane lines they are 360psi and ive pushed some 75psi fuel through them before without a problem... the metal lines shoudl hold it just make sure they arnt rusted that added pressure would probably blow out a rusted line pretty fast

I guess what I'm trying to say is that the factory fuel line does not end in a flare, or an O ring fitting like a fuel injected car would. It's just a tube with a rubber hose over it. I would like to know if I could either flare the end, and use AN fittings, or is there some other way to make a secure connection so I don't have fuel leaks.


Thanks!
