EFI hard line to braided line connectors

[crutch]

I am planning on running hard line on frame rails with stainless braided flex to tank and throttle body. I found these fuel line adapters to convert the hard line to 6AN but I'm not sure of the pressure rating. Seems like difference of opinion on my google searches on whether to use these. The holly sniper EFI runs at 60 PSI.

What is the recommended connector to transition from hard line to 6AN braided line?

Flare your hard line and use tube nuts.

The tube adapters are fine.

I typically buy a 6' lengths of 5/16" or 3/8" steel brake line from O'Reilly's and bend my lines up.

Then I buy this from Summit to make my conversion to 6AN at the firewall...

Plenty of ways to skin a cat here...

The less connections you use, the less chances for leaks. And if you are doing your lines on the top of the frame rail, be sure after the body is on that you can get to them with wrenches to tighten or loosen. A lot of us here have learned the hard way, myself included, placement is everything when you have a leak.

crutch, I just completed a mustang EFI conversion on my 351W and I used the fittings that you linked to transition from aluminum hard lines to me flexible lines. They have worked well for the past couple of months.

I've been using these guys for a few years, save some money for the same thing.

This is my preference as well. I take it a step further and use an AN bulkhead union at both ends of the hard line. The unions are poked thru a hole in an existing tab or bracket, or one is made for it/them. That anchors the ends of the line to keep fatigue from breaking it.

^Good Idea!
