I am in the process of replacing my gas tank. I switched from fuel injection to carb(I know...I know...) I got the granettelli fuel pick up from sumitt racing and it has a -10 an male fitting for the supply fuel line. I was wondering where I can get a female fitting for that, and how should I assemble the line from the tank, through a fuel filter , and then through a holley red in-line fuel pump...any suggestions? I don;t really wanna use the rubber fuel line if possible, but may have to, as it is hard to bend metal fuel line(for me anyways)here is the pickup tube:

You may have opened up a can of worms setting up your fuel setup this way.
An fittings are very expensive so is the hose and filter. You can get them pretty much anywhere including summit.
If you are hoping to connect it to the stock hard line in the rear of the car, i'm not so sure there is any way to do it.

Maybe someone here knows a method to do it, but i don't.
If there isn't a way, better get your wallet out, because you are going to be in a world of hurt financially, for absolutely no reason.

You will be rethinking that carb setup shortly after checking prices on the fittings at summit.

welcome to the wor;d of super high price fittings and the loads of fun that are making hoses!

there are a few ways to go from here... you can get all braided line and the fittings... big money and the fittings can be hard to assemble some times
then you'll need -8 stuff to do the return off the pump bypass

you can get -10 fittings for push lock hoses. little easier to assemble the hose doesnt cost as much

you can get some 5/8" (-10) steel tubing and bend the lines to follow the route you want to take and then adapt that to a -10 hose with the AN fittings so you can drop the tank with the lines hooked up

none of the above will be cheap when done right....

cheap fittings leak over time
good fittings arent cheap

yup when you start getting into AN fittings you get 2 types of weight reduction. aluminum fittings and your wallet gets lighter
 
Been there, done that. IF you must do this, go to Summit and order a 37 degree -AN flaring tool and learn how to use it well. Its a cheap tool that makes things easier/cheaper in the long run. I remember my first time putting ends on braided hose too. Got mad, cut the hose up in little pieces with the cut off wheel, then threw the cut off wheel tool on the ground and broke it. The whole tantrum cost me quite a few bucks. I'm good at it now :)

Oh and I think you will want a blue or black pump. Red is for your lawn tractor I think.
