Re: What fittings do I need for fuel lines

AN fittings were designed and still used in the aircraft industry. They got adapted to hot rod use much later. Now street car guys like them because they "look cool" but most of the time aren't needed for regular street rigs. A bit of history on them plus a good explanation here. https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/do...ocID=TECH00096


NOW UPDATE after the coffee kicked in and I started looking at you photo of the pump the fitting you show is on the OUTLET side not the inlet side.
That normally is used with an inverted flair fitting and steel line running to the carb. The inlet is the tube that the short fuel hose that connects to the steel line running up the frame connects to.
The picture of the pump is what is left after I took off the hose coming from the original fuel tank.
