What have You Guys used to adapt the fuel rail \"quick disconnect\" fittings to something else???
I have seen conversions on the net and have seen some kind of fitting that converts the QD to a #6 AN fitting....Anybody know Who makes these???
I have thought about having AN fittings tig welded to the ends of the fuel rail, but then there would be a need for a remote mounted regulator....
Just looking for some different options...

I don\'t remember exactly what I did, but I think I just stuck the hose on and double clamped it. No adapters..
You can kind of see it here:

CCristo.....Thx for the reply...I couldn\'t really tell from the pic what was on the lines...
I\'m not wanting to go the hose clamp route...looking for somthing a little more secure and permanent...
I found a post on another site yesterday where the Guy used stock 4.3 CFI fuel lines on his conversion....He stated that the lines come off the frame and follow the trans up to the back of the engine and the fittings \"clicked right on\"...I just don\'t remember the CFI having a return line...hopefully I\'ll get to the boneyard this weekend and see if they will work...
I\'ll repost if it is a go...

Accel makes the fuel line fittings you are looking for but I had AN fittings tig welded on to my fuel lines leaving the regulator where it is just have them welded on before the regulator.
