1971 Stepside LS Build

[1971Stepside]

Can you give me details on this setup? I am doing the same thing on a 5.3 with a corvette filter/regulator. What fittings for both AN and aluminum did you use and how much braided did you use? I need to know what to purchase for my fuel lines. I already have the 3/8" aluminum line, but don't have any AN line or fittings yet and want to order the right parts...

I ran braided 6an line from my fuel rail (no return) to the frame where I connected to the 3/8" metal tube. The tube runs to where the frame starts to bend upward. From there I go back to a very short piece of braided to the WIX filter. From the filter I go braided to the Boyd tank. Here are the parts I ordered starting from the fuel rail back to the tank. All part numbers are from Summit and I did mine in black.

1 - Fuel line adapter 3/8" RUS-644113
2 - 6an hose end female RUS-610025
3 - Russel 6 an hose (about 2.5' from rail to frame) RUS-632090
4 - 6an hose end female RUS-610025
5 - Male 6an to male 3/8" NPT ICB-AN816-06-06A
6 - 3/8" hard line - purchased a straight piece local that was flared with 3/8" female ends
7 - Male 6an to male 3/8" NPT ICB-AN816-06-06A
8 - 6an hose end female RUS-610025
9 - Another probably foot long piece of braided
10 - 6an hose end female RUS-610025
11 - 3/8" fitting for WIX filter push in type RUS-64090
12 - For the other end of your WIX you will have another 3/8" adapter (RUS-644113) and a 5/16" adapter (RUS-644123)
13 - Both fittings will need the RUS-610025
14 - Braided hose to your pump and return
15 - Pump line needs a RUS-610165 and a ICB-F06AN060R
16 - Return line needs a RUS-610165 and a SUM-220648B

I hope this makes sense. Draw it out on a piece of paper and I think it will become more clear for you. You will need your vent set up unless you ordered that on the tank from Boyds and you will need your drain plug in addition to what I listed.

Thanks for the compliments on the build.
