steel braided fuel line LT1/ls1

I have the stock fuel line on my Lt1 and i don't like it, it looks like a fire hazard the way i have mine now, and makes my engine bay look bad. I seen a thread on here someone had it and the part# but now i can't find it.

It's Pure Choice Motorsports Kit but i need help finding the one to the thirdgen fuel fittings?

Re: steel braided fuel line LT1/ls1

Is this what you're looking for? (part number DFI 310-74730)
Transition from -6AN fitting to the stock 3rd gen fuel line.

If you have the stock metric fittings on the hard lines , should be # 6005

Re: steel braided fuel line LT1/ls1

For the Braided Line, itself, make sure you get some kind of Teflon lined line. Otherwise, fuel will sweat through your lines, and your garage will ALWAYS smell of gasoline.
I got mine from Pegasus Racing, for it's flexibility...

There is some less expensive line out there that could work for short straight runs- look for the "radius" specs to check if you can use.

When I bought mine several years ago I just called them & they knew exactly what I needed.

You might also try pm'ing z28ricer on here, he's only on once every couple of weeks right now, but he makes them as well. I bought one of his power steering swap hoses & it's well made, so if it's any indication of the quality of his fuel lines are I wouldn't hesitate to buy them if I were needing a set again.
