Need Photo; Fuel Pump Install
Looking to install a Carter M61045 Hi Po fuel pump in my '68 BB using existing fuel line? I'm sure this is pretty commonly done, but would love to see how you plumbed the connections. Thanks.

Doesnt that pump require AN fittings? So you would use steel braided flex line with the appropriate ends or have to find an adaptor to connect your hard line.

The M61045 uses an NPT female outlet instead of the stock inverted flare outlet, so you cannot use your stock fuel line - you need to fabricate a new line that will interface with whatever adapter you choose to use with the NPT pump threads.
Here's a small block I did with an almost identical pump - note 90-degree NPT to AN adapter at the pump and custom bent hard line for interface:
