I ordered my Walbro pumps for $119 each. I ordered the fittings Rusty suggested below. Everything has showed up and guess what, I've got more questions. :) First, on the pumps, it looks like the fittings seal by crushing an aluminum washer. Would it be ok to put fuel lube on the fitting also? Anybody know what torque value to use or is good and tight sufficient? Second, on the filter (GF481), what seals the fitting to the filter? That tiny O ring? The fitting bottoms out in the filter by hand tightening. It doesn't seem right. What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

I would like to keep it all AN fittings since it will be in the cockpit. You wouldn't happen to have part numbers or make and model of the filters. I could try to go into an autoparts store but they aren't always friendly with R&D requests. :) Ron Hi Ron, Here's an entry from my builders log that might help. Decided on a fuel filter finally. Found out that you can buy the standard Chevy EFI filter for about $6 in any brand, and at any auto parts store. It has an odd metric thread on the ends that's 16mm x 1.5p, but there’s an AN adapter made for it. Earls part number for the adapter is 991955. The filter is- AC Delco # GF481, Purolator # F33144.
