Once you start converting conventional line to AN, it becomes almost addictive. Is it possible to eliminate the rigid fuel pump-to-carburator tube and replace it with AN hose? If not possible, is there an AN fitting that would attach to the stock tube? Anyone know the thread size at the pump to this tube? That's information overload, Guys. Thanks.

It's very possible. The fuel line is just the same as a standard brake line fitting. I have made replacement hose from brake line.

Yes it is possible. Aeroquip or Earl's Perf. Plumbing have the adapters. They have Straight's, 45 and 90 degree elbows. They adapt NPT to AN.

What size is the current fuel line?(i.e. 3/8")

And what size is the fitting on the fuel line that threads into the pump and the size that threads into the carb?(i.e. 1/2" NPT)

I will try to post the link for Aeroquip later. Their site is acting up.

Yes, the fuel line is 3/8" (-6 AN). I'll have to go to fuel pump and disconnect tube for exact thread size. You're right on, I've seen the NPT to AN adapters in Summit catalog. From there it's just routing up to carb. You've helped me with AN issues in the past...thank you.
