85 Vette fuel line fitting
I just bought a FIRST FI setup, and need to connect to my hard fuel lines. I really don't want to cut the stock lines.
I'm looking for a female fitting that will screw onto the male flare coming from the tank. I found a Russell Performance adapter, 640830, but I'm not sure if this will work. Has anyone used this piece, or have another suggestion?

I assume they need the o-ring to seal to the fuel filter.

Rodj is right, you can also copy the LT1 style and come up around the AC/heater box and over.
The only thing I don't know is how this would work with some racing associations. I know NHRA does not like any fuel lines near or along the firewall. (However this is a very common place for people to want to mount them.)
