fuel line fittings

i wasnt sure where to post this at so i guess this is an acceptable place.

i want to replace my fuel lines and the new line doesnt have fittings on it. what size fittings will i need to use on the ends of the 25 foot lines i have. its tubing that i have to bend myself. i want to upgrade a little bit to a 1/2 inch line. can anyone please help me out?

heres the line im using http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-G2512/?rtype=10

will someone send me the fittings and ends i will need to make this complete to mount up to the gas tank?

Why do you think you need 1/2" lines with a 305" ; especially if you are using the stock line from the frame to the engine
If you go with 1/2" line you need -8AN fittings

Re: fuel line fittings

1/2" is still overkill for a 355. Upgrade the fuel pump for what you'll be running (carb or efi).
