All you'll need are the right fittings that are 1/8" NPT on one end to screw into the carb where the factory brass elbows and special tee fittings are now. Finding ones that are compact enough to fit in the correct configurations considering the carbs are so close together will be a challenge, but should be doable.

Personally, I'd keep the OEM lines. But I guess you're wanting to make all the fuel lines match the ones feeding your N2O setup.

I just recently replaced all of the braided lines and AN fittings on one of my cars with hard line and OEM-type brass inverted-flare fittings. After about 10 years all of the braided line will rot, and every one will need to be replaced. My car was sprouting leaks everywhere from the old rotted rubber lines inside the stainless braided hose covering.

Not gonna happen with steel and aluminum hard line, with a few short lengths (about 12" for the whole car) of rubber line to make some needed flexible connections.

10 years ,,,,, thats not long at all,, i thought that the braided lines would last longer then that, i probably racked up 600-700 bucks in those hoses and fittings it seems just those dam 90's were 19.00 a piece(needed around 6 of those) and the straights are 9.00,, hose was 80.00 for each 20ft section.

I was pretty disappointed too.

When you look at that stuff it you think it just has to be bulletproof and permanent, it sure seems that for the cost of that hose and the fittings it ought to be.

10 years goes by fast.

Those are not what you need, those are AN straight thread (o-ring sealed) to AN 37-deg flare.

You need inverted flare to AN 37-deg flare.

i have located everything BUT the main 4-way fitting that goes in the first carb...

i could drill and tap holes in the flare block for a 1/4 to 06 or 1/8 to 06. but i have no NPT taps

right now im using,, 06 to 3/8 alum tube adapter on the main line feeding the block
