I start from the Tanks fuel pump (GPA-4) with a pair of Summit Racing 1/4" NPT to -6AN adapters (SUM-220647B) for both the fuel supply and return lines. These then connect to a pair of Allstar coated, braided -6AN fuel lines (ALL48465-12) that are a foot long each. These attach to some Speedflow bulkhead 90 degree fittings (833-06-BLK) and matching retaining nut (924-06-BLK). This completes the run of fuel lines from the pump to the bulkhead fittings to switch to running the lines under the vehicle.
Under the vehicle, I'm using a Summit Racing 90 degree 40 micron fuel filter with -6AN fittings on the supply side line. On the return side, I use a Speedflow 90 degree coupler (143-06-BLK) so both lines are headed over to the driver side of the vehicle. The rest of the run up to the engine compartment is handled by a pair of 14' Allstar -6AN coated, braided fuel lines (ALL48465-168). I'd considered many different ways to handle it but this seemed the best and frankly the easiest option.
I started today installing all of these parts at the throttle body. I ran them straight from the back of the throttle body down the top of the transmission. At the parking brake bracket, I started running them toward the side of the car attaching them to that bracket safely out of the way. I then ran them down the inside of the subframe connectors on the inside edge so they would be safe. While there are probably better ways, I used some 1/4" thick black zip ties to hold them to the subframe connectors.
I'll need to make a few brackets to hold the lines in place. I'll attach one to the side of the transmission, another to the frame using the original fuel line bolt just in front of the axle, and the another on one of the old muffler bracket bolts that will hold the lines to the frame right beside the fuel tank. I have some Russell AN line spacers that I can use for these brackets or I might come up with something else. I've not decided quite yet.
