I must have looked at this website a 100 times and don't know how I missed that, thanks for the link, sincerely.

No problem. I missed twice lol.
I'm still not getting what you mean by the 94 ish connector. Is it a stock connector on the truck?

It's the C100 that goes thru the drivers side firewall. Yes it's the stock connector.

Alright, the front portions of the fuel supply line done. I took the supply fitting from the old TBI and reamed it to .372 which is OD of the fuel rail where the push lock fitting would have gone.



I then pressed fitted the old TBI fitting on the back of the rail and TIG welded it in place, then painted it.



Here it is installed back on the truck with the old factory line attached back to it.



I think I might be able to reuse the push lock that came off the rail to make my supply and return the same length to the vette filter. Being as it was cut and it's just a thin plastic tube with braiding round it, not sure how a would do getting clamped back into it.

why not just use the earl connectors for an line and be done with it vs trying to rig the old lines? an lines are damn near leak proof. plus they just look awesome with braided stainless. lol

Looking good. I guess you're glad to be back on track after the yearlong hiatus.

Agree, but I already have a easily adaptable fuel line that ended up costing me nothing. The braided lines do look great, but they are expensive and when the hood is open you can only see a few inches that line. Maybe my next swap will have it.

Thanks, I am glad to be back on track. The year did give me time to think about all the things that need to be done vs what I want done. Got to machine a bunch of little parts and fittings that probably saved me $150 or so.
