Default carb fuel line setup

Anyone have pics of their fuel lines from the mech pump to the carb? I am getting rid of the glass filter and braided lines to get rid of the fire hazard and give it a cleaner look. Holley 4bbl. I dont know much about the AN fittings but I can bend the hell out of tubing so I will probably just use 3/8 tubing. Also which filter you are using. just looking for some ideas. fuel pressure guages, all of it. thanks in advance

an fittings are expensive as hell, but they do look nice. an-6 I believe is for 3/8ths line. I put the line for my fuel pump to carb and it was over a hundred bucks easily.

Is this for dual feed Holley, if so, I would pattern your lines after an LT-1 setup.

Very simple with a 3/8 tubing bender from the 850 to the stock pump and a 3 way compression union.
