Fuel line fittings?

Please be patient with me, but this fuel line stuff is confusing. I just put on my Accel MPFI Pro-Ram. What I really need to know is what size the female conector on our flexible hose is. I'm refering to the female connection on TBI where the flexible line connects to a hard line next to the alternator. Both for the feed line and return line. I'm not by my car now, but I need to get the right fittings as soon as possible. Thanks!

Summit has a couple of connectors that are supposed to work - at ~$40. However, you may have better luck taking the parts down to your local hydraulic hose shop (yellow pages) and asking them for connectors. In the long run it'll save a bunch of aggravation of having to return wrong items, and those guys are pretty sharp. FWIW I've heard that those fittings are power steering fittings anyway...

Nope, I stopped at 7 places to see if i could get lines made up, ranging from parts strores to the hydralic places. No one knew anything, Now I gave the car to Rockys Rod shop and he as gonna run teh Braided right off the hardline, he is gonna cut the fittings right off.
