First pic shows braided hose from fuel pp to Holley fuel regulator. Second pic is remainder of fuel line run to carb. All fittings are AN-6.

That brass block fitting is commonly used with multi-carb systems. You can find them on eBay with SEARCH for "Brass fuel block fittings". They were also used on Olds J-2 tri-power systems, so you could search there, too.

From the pump to the filter is the standard Qjet setup. I then bought the 71 LS6 lines and cut the one side to fit the Qjet filter. Of course you have to double flare the fitting.
If you have several flares to create I really like this tool.

Be careful what material you use for the hard tubing!
If you're running fuel, make sure it's stainless steel! Not aluminum (ask me how I know...). Aluminum will fatigue and split open and suddenly, you'll have fuel spraying on the windshield and boy, does it smell strong!
Here is my stainless steel setup.
Straight down to the Fuel Pump. Use the shortest fitting possible at the bottom, because it barely clears the stationary rod on the A-Arm.
Underside of Fuel Pump.

When the mechanical fuel pump gave out I decided to use an electric pump at the gas tank and go up the passenger firewall with steel supply/return lines to keep the fuel cooler since the car is a basketcase resto-mod........

No local place is going to have it.
Got your PM but my cell is a work phone that they monitor.
I have the standard drop base filter and standard PVC fresh air supply 90 and rubber hose.
Here it is all finished.
