Called inverse flare fittings.

A good specaily hardware store will carry inverse flare fittings if u want to make changes. I recall flex line to intlet and flared 3/8" tubing on outlet of pump.
I installed my Carter street pmp with 45* fittings only - no 90*. Aligned the pmp housing so fittings see only smooth transistions to the tubing - reduced restrictions. Removed my "S" bent/formed inlet flex line so inlet flex makes gradual bend accross top of pmp and down. I see 6psi-9psi right at the carb now without a inline regulator.
U can set it up for your application.
