I run AN fittings from the stock hardline to my mechanical fuel pump, to my carb. And I used them for my trans cooler lines. All one with -6AN and braided stainless steel hose. Its not cheap, but its way better than using rubber hose.

Mine being carbed, I don't have the hi-pressure fitting at the end of the line. Just the barbed hose end. I guess that's what I'm asking. Is there an AN fitting that will connect to the barbed hose end or do i need to cut the barbed end off and make it flush to use the compression fitting.

Very nice work RubberDucky !
When the rubber lines rotted in mine , I used high pressure hose and hoseclamps from an autoparts store . Mine were leaking and as a daily driver I needed it fixed asap . I cut the old collar clamps off the original hoses and used the fittings + clamps to put it all back together with . This has held up for a few years now with no problems ....
