    Fuel Line Fittings

    Ok... What fitting do I need and where can I find it?

    The BluePrint Engines Holley Carb came with the fuel line as seen in this photo. I'm not sure of sizes, but I believe this is an AN6 ??? I have installed the 5/16 hard fuel line that comes from FF. What I'm trying to find is the adapter that will come off of the 5/16 Hard Line and allow me to connect the braided hose to it. Ideally with a 90* elbow at the same time. (but I wont be picky) Can anyone help me?

    If it's 5/16 inverted flare, that's a 1/2-20 thread. If your flex line is AN6, then this adapter will hook you up. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/rus-640600/overview/. Don't see anything in that combination that's 90 degrees.

    Ok, all cleared up... just ordered both Russell 640600 and Russell 614806 Blue Anodized Aluminum 90-Degree Female -6AN to Male -6AN Adapter Fitting. Put those two together and I'll have a nice hook up for the fuel system.

    Is that a Blue Print 427? My carb model has the fuel line on the passenger side and looks like this.

    Close... it is a BluePrint 347 and the fuel line is on the DS.... but it is 427ft/lb of torque... so I'm calling it a 427...

    They are nice engines!
