Fuel Hose

I am plugging away on the LS swap in my 67. Now working on the fuel system. Planning on running Earls Vapor Guard but I am having a hard time finding the fittings for the truck intake side. Anyone know what fitting I need?

Also is there any benefits with running hard line along the frame and then VG on the engine and tank sides?

Thanks

Thanks man for the help. I am trying to figure out the engine side. It looks like the LQ9 intake has quick disconnect fittings that are 2 different sizes. Holley makes a 3/8" one but not a small 5/16" return side one. poop

If you're going to use aftermarket fittings, inly use this type with the screw on end, the plastic keeper type, like the factory uses have been known to pop off on the aftermarket fittings.

Sweet thank you sir. This is what I was looking for. It looks like with these I can run - 6 AN fittings with supply and return. Now I just need to order the Vapor guard and some fittings.

Now is there any benefit with running hard line a long the frame? Or just run the vapor guard the whole way?

If I run the hard line I guess I would need a different flare tool to make AN flares...hmmm
