3/8" hard fuel line?
So.. With an aftermarket fuel pump, with a 3/8" thread on the side.. How do you get to a 3/8" hard line?
The OE pump used basically a transmission line, 3/8" flare. I cannot for the life of me find a fitting that is 3/8" NPT (pipe) male to screw into the pump that will offer me a 3/8" inverted flare female for the line to screw into..??
I have a rubber feed line with a barb into the pump, but like stock, I wanted a hard line up from the pump into the carb. Don't really want to replace the whole thing with braided.

I have used 3/8" brake lines and cut the ends off, bent them, and used compression fittings with 3/8" NPT pipe thread into whatever connection. Works good. Just tighten the compression fitting snug and you should have no leaks.
