I putting a 89' 302 aod efi from a van into my 49f1 I want to use the inline fuel pump/lines from the ford van and the Chevy fuel tank /sending unit that I already installed but having trouble at the Chevy sender to ford fuel line connection how to make this happen?
Chevy sending fuel lines
Ford fuel sending unit
Ford fuel line
An fitings or cut and solder any ideas
Originally those sending unit lines connected to rubber hoses that then went to steel lines. The rubber lines are not available other than purchasing full fuel line sets, so they are expensive.
Easiest fix is to slide short lengths of FI rated fuel line over the sending unit ends and then put Dorman fuel line repair stubs on the other end which will connect to your plastic lines.
I will be doing those connections over shortly since I am no longer going to run a supercharger and have to change what I had already done. I have the master cool flaring kit so I am going to cut the sending unit ends off and try to re-flare them to connect directly to the plastic GM lines I will be using, which look similar to what you have as well.
No need to run pumps on the rail with that sending unit, if you bought the tank for FI all you need is the in tank pump. I initially installed a 1995 LT1 pump but now will be installing a 255 LPM Walboro since the engine going in may need more flow than stock. This is all for truck #2, truck #1 will use the 1995 caprice pump with a pretty much stock 300HP engine.
Thanks dave I may have it worked out using some earl fittings with AN couplings to ford quick connect I hope the parts are in the mail
I have been on this for a week
