fuel line - pump to carb help

It's a 1986 Firebird 305 qjet. Will this line work for going from the pump to the carb? http://www.classicindustries.com/cam...s/fgl8508.html

I don't know what one looks like and I don't know the fitting size or anything I need help.

This one looks like it would be easier to install. Could I use this to replace the whole line? Can I just screw on the fittings and screw them into the pump/carb?? nothing special required??

The description doesn't match your application. The picture looks close to the right thing, but I wouldn't guarantee it. Best to call them.

That is not the correct kit. That's for an aftermarket fuel cell to an aftermarket fuel pump.

I hope we're talking about a mechanical pump mounted on the engine. If so, this one should work http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-G3150/ . Available in different colors if you add a suffix.

The difference may be the nut that goes into the q-jet fuel bowl. Shouldn't be a big hurdle.
