Suggestions for fuel plumbing from pump to carb?
I am currently running a stock mechanical fuel pump. I have a stub of stock 3/8 hardline coming out of the pump, and 3/8 rubber fuel hose comes of that. It runs up the stock location by the timing cover and ps pump, where I have an inline filter. After the filter it goes into a side inlet Holley 600 hose fitting.
Here's my dealio... I'm going to be racing soon, and I had concern that this may not pass tech inspect. Besides, the hose is a little cracked and brittle. I need to replace this setup, keeping the stock type pump. I also need to have an inline filter in front of the carb. I bought some 3/8 flare hard line I was going to bend, but then I would need the female flare to hose adapter to get my inline filter connected. I am now hesitating on this plan, because I am not really liking a ton of adapter crap. Suggestions? I was wondering if there was a kit with braided line and maybe AN fittings? My stock pump has a straight down female flare connection. Might it be easier to change the carb inlet fitting and go with AN fitting? I am not looking for super-pimp. I need something better than my shadetree mechanic setup, and something that won't have a problem passing tech in case I get "Inspector 12" at the track. I have a pic of what I am currently running. Thanks!

The factory hard lines will work if you have a factory fuel pump, they end near where you have your filter now, and should pass tech (guessing). Our sponsor sells them, along with a few others that are easy to find.
