I'm double checking with the geniuses before I order the adapters for my fuel lines...
I have an early 86 and am converting to an lt1 intake. The fuel line connections are 3/8" and 5/16" on the stock hard lines, correct? I looked in the FSM and Haynes but they weren't very specific. Thanks in advance! |

How are you doing lines? New braided line all the way down to the filter / return line coupling?
If so you need Metric O ring to AN adapters to mate to the stock fittings |

I am making lines that connect the fuel rail to the steel lines in between the throttle body and ac. I have 6AN connections, but don't know what size adapter will screw into the stock lines. |

So you have the connectors to plug into the stock LT1 rail fittings or you have welded -6AN fittings to the rails as many have done? You need these to adapt the metric O ring fittings on the original TPI lines to -6AN . http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EAR-9894DBHERL/ http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EAR-9894DBJERL/ Early TPI cars have 16mm on supply line and 14mm on return.Confirm you have to different sizes before buying; someone could have fitted a later rail that has 16mm on both. |

That is correct, I have just bought mine to do away with the rubber factory hoses. |

But you made new lines back to the filter ; my personal preference because you can run them across the bellhousing away from heat . He is extending the stock rubber lines that connect at the front of the TPI so he needs the female metric fittings instead of the male ones you used. |
