Stock 454 Mag and I need the fuel line that goes from the mechanical fuel pump to the carb. I don't want to use the old stock sttel lines and the only replacement I can locate is the Sierra 18-8114. What other options do I have?? Thanks

Take the old lines and cut the ends off and save the fittings and appx. 1" of tube that goes to the pump and carb. Weld, solder or braze a weld on AN -6 fitting on each piece. Purchase enough -6 braided line and the proper -6 hose ends for your application. You should be able to purchase everything needed at Summit/Jegs.

Back at it trying to get the fuel system plumbed - trying not to buy flare tools, benders, etc. if I can avoid it. I put a Holley Mechanical fuel pump (12-454-11) on the motor and need the line that goes from the filter to the pump and the pump to my Edelbrock carb. Would like to go coast guard approved so that I do not run the risk of getting my chops busted. Thanks!

You could also get some stainless braided -6 line and fittings and make your own lines. It's not super cheap but very easy to do. Fittings in the fuel pump are 1/4" NPT and you can get 1/4" to -6 male fittings for the pump and depending on what carb setup a fitting for the carb as well. It'll never rust and be easy to remove if need be. Much easier then the inverted flare stuff.
