Looks right to me. Not sure on how long of hose your set up needs, might work.

Blah blah = the rest of the name i cant remember.

^^One of those will adapt the return, the other will adapt the feed to -6an

Basically just find how long of section of AN hose you need, then add those to one end, quick connects to the other. One disconnect is 3/8, the other 5/16

LowDime, I never knew those existed til I found them back when I needed fittings for my tranny back in May. Slick for sure.

Atomic, I'm shocked S&P has gotten it wrong 2x. But then again, they sold me a AC compressor for a Vette w/. a different ribbed pulley than I needed.

While I needed the Vette stuff for that swap, I didn't need it to be 1 rib off. I couldn't figure out why I was shredding belts left & right til it was figured out.

So, I never got to see if the AC worked on that truck. Maybe 1 day.

I'd still like to see pics. A low cost alternativer is sometimes a better option. I had to get stuff welded to go from my LT1 lines to my AN, & they wouldn't guarantee if it'd leak. Ah, hello, gas lines?!? Since then, not for that reason tho, I don't care to do business w/. them.

ill take some pics tomorrow...

the napa had the fittings just like stock, but with a barb on the other end...they had plastic fuel line, rated at high psi and made to withstand the fuel corrosiveness...put the fitting in some type of clamping gun, stuck the hose in the other end and crimped it on..one side done...other side just bought a compression fitting and put one end on the plastic hose and the other on the metal fuel line that i hack sawed off...snugged the compression fitting up and done...no issues and a quarter of the cost...the most expensive part was the plastic fuel line at 4.99 a foot
