Hi there..
I am not sure how to explain this in a good way in english since it is not my main language but I will try as hard as I can.
First of all, I am familiar with mechanical tools and everything with hoses and pipes here in Norway but I want to hear what you opinions is.
I am almost done with my fresh rebuild 305 TPI engine on my 87 Camaro
Now I am going to convert my fuel rails so the fuel lines come out on the back of the rails instead of the front.
That part is easy: I was thinking of drilling out the old holes where the feed and return line is and plug the stock feed hole.
then I would make threads on the pressure regulator so I can get some braided fuel lines there..
I am going to disable the cold start injector so I just use that hole on the feeding line.
My question is: What should I do with the "METAL" fuel lines that comes from the gas tank and goes front to the engine bay???
How do I get braided fuel lines fit on the regular metal fuel lines?.
I was thinking of cutting the fuel lines somewhere in the transmission "bay"....So how do I get braided fuel lines on a cutted metal pipe?
Do I have to buy a flare tool and some fittings to use on the metal pipes or what do you suggest?...I hope you understand my situation here. Like I said I am not good on explaining in english...

After you cut it, you can put tube nuts and sleeves on and flare it.
At some point there must be rubber flex lines that join the chassis hardlines to the fuel rail lines where they face the LH side .
If it is the same as the same year Corvettes there are couplings there where the two lines meet .
These adapters allow you to fit -6AN braided line to the metric O ring coupling .Check your sizes.
Early cars used a smaller 14 mm fitting on the return line, later had 16mm on both

If you have to cut the hardlines back to a better position then you need these in the correct size ( 3/8" 5/16" ) to adapt -6AN line to hardlines
