SBO 350 rebuild..pics

Ok, heres the dilemma..I ordered a Spectre Single feed fuel line pn#29883 and i ordered a edelbrock Aluminum Filter pn#8130 but the ****ing inlets dont fit. the fuel line is much bigger then the inlet on the filter. is there a fitting i can buy to get them to fit?
i imagined it to fit like this..

something told me to go with all edel but i tried to short cut and got the fuel line off ebay for $7 and got the filter from amazon for $24 free shipping...

 

[Mathematic]

anybody?

They don't make 1 adapter to put them fittings together (3/8"MNPT - -6AN) You would have to use 2 different fittings. That would probably look awful :idea: Your best bet would be to purchase the fuel line kit that you loaded a picture of in your previous post. The line from Edelbrock has a female -6AN size inlet, made for their filter :wink: (Edelbrock #350-8134)

It would fit like that, if you had the Edelbrock line pictured

yeah, RITTER you were right...i just got back from the summit store and the did have an adapter.. male to female and it was just too much..it added about 2inches..so i just decided to get a edelbrock fuel line...now im stuck with the spectre line...guess ill sell it for like $10 or something..

Figure out anything for heads yet? They make or break an engines potential.

Forgot to say you might be able to find a set over www.realoldspower.com For performance use I would look for 5,6,7,7a heads. Anything else is a low compression poor flowing head.

yeah, i forgot to mention that the heads where good...no cracks. 😀 They're the original #6 heads...

That is great news. #6 heads are great heads. Good luck with the rest of your build.
