Here's a picture of my engine bay. I'm about to start her up, I just need to hook up a few more wires and the intake. But as you can see my steel hoses end, go to rubber ones, then go to the hard lines. I want to do away with the rubber lines right there. I've never worked with fuel lines before so I've no idea what I'm doing.
Well you are gonna want to go with steel braided. This is b/c the motor will want to flex under load and if you have all solid lines they will fatigues at some point. Go with braided from the solid to solid. Call Russel or any other company that sells braided lines. you can also call Jegs. They sell a AN adapter to change the stock line ends to AN type. then run normal braided hose, and they 2 more adapters and go into the fuel rail lines.
Hope this helps. Make calls you can get something like this done and figures out in 20 minutes on the phone.

I somehow doubt online sales reps are going to be able to give me size of my stock hoses. I already have the fittings where it meets the fuel rails luckily.
If you look at, or call Jegs, they sell fitting that go from the stock kind to standard AN. If you use these you can go straight from the hard line to the standard braidd hose, then to the fuel rail lines. When you buy the fittings, there is only one kind, and they say how big the standard size hose that it converts to. Buy a foot or two of that size and you are all set.
Hope this clears things up. I have seen it done. Love to see other guys here in MA. Are you ever around Boston? I live in Needham and am trying to start a local thirdgen club.
If you can't find the parts I can post links and part #s.

310-74730 These are the accel fittings. I looked it up in less than a minute. The jegs web site is not all that bad.
It changes your stock style end to 6-AN.

That part # is just a quick example of some braided hose. Less than 15 bucks. All you would need after that is the fittings to go back into the fuel rail hard lines.

those are the wrong fittings. The hard lines on the body are male and need female fittings.
those fittings you posted are for the hard lines at the TPI fuel rail itself.
Well, the HSR Fuel rail has AN fittings, the Hard line adaptors have AN fittings, so you get a length of steel braided line, cut it into 2 smaller lines, get 4 -6AN hose ends and that is it.
You will be making 2 new lines to go from the body to teh HSR.

Actually the hardline that sends fuel to the rails isn't -6AN. Anyone know what size it is? Its clearly larger than the other side. Also, can I use -6AN on one side of a hose and -xAN on the other size?
My rails from holley are both -6AN, but I'm talking about the hardlines that travel the body of the car. They end under the brake master cylinder area. The return line is -6AN. The other is slightly larger. Do you happen to know the size?
