Default Imperial size tool

Hi guys, I live in Europe and I need to buy imperial tools. I'm looking for the size of the two wrenches needed to remove fuel filter and fuel line and also the allen key for the air valve. I've the original Quadrajet! Thanks

For the fuel line/filter you need a 1" open end spanner and a 5/8" flare. I am not sure of the size of the Allen key.
