Braided Fuel Line Parts ?

What all (parts list) would be necessary to replace the factory fuel lines from the point where they come out of the fender well to the fuel rail. I'm in the process of installing a LTCC setup and the factory lines are in the way and are not very flexible.

I've seen a post, with part numbers and photo links from someone who found an Earls compression fitting that will connect the stock hard lines at the engine to -6AN. You couldn't connect to the plastic lines at the fender - you would probably have to go all the way back to the hard line under the chassis.

Might want to try a "search", but not sure what the best key words would be.

Injuneer, thanks. I called and talked to someone at performanceplumbing.com that I found in the thread that you linked, they have a lt1 braided fuel line kit, but he was unsure about the stock plastic fuel lines. Do you know how far the lines are plastic once they go into the wheel well before they hit hard line?

The lines go all the way down to the front subframe, run along the rocker panel in a plastic sheething, then just behind the end of the subframe (about 18" behind the front edge of the door), they curve toward the center of the car, where they meet with metal lines maybe 15" in from the rocker panel. I still have the stock plastic hoses and hard lines hanging on the car, even though I replaced everything in the fuel system with S/S braided hose.

I have a few pictures of that area, but they are not online... I could send them to you if you need them. Nothing you couldn't see just by looking under the car.

The plastic lines hook to the steel lines right at the front end of the subframe. So you pull of the front wheel liner, unscrew another plastic bracket, and you'll see the connectors there.

Does performanceplumbing's kit hook up to the quick snap connectors or do they only replace the plastic lines?
