Such a vague question, what do you want fittings for? The lines by the firewall, the fuel rail lines? I dnt use an fmu so I couldn't help ya there. You'll have to decide what size lines you want, then decide on fittings from there.

They make LT1 fittings for the firewall lines. 3/8 for feed and 5/16ths for the return. So that means in braided lines you will be fine with -6 lines for both feed and return. Ill try to find the LT1 fittings later when im at home.

For your fuel rail I am unsure of the fittings because I do not have and Eco, maybe someone else can help you out there.

are you willing to drop $200+ for these fuel lines? if not then I suggest you forget about it.

-AN stuff is expensive, ESPECIALLY the adapters you need for the stock hard lines.

Here is the Link for the fittings back by the firewall. You want part number 5800. Nevermind the picture on there, don't know what thats about.

You can also buy the line and fittings from (russell performance) through Summit Racing or others.

RUSSELL PUSH-ON EFI FITTINGS (FOR OEM HARD LINES)
Look about 1/2 down the page for the part numbers.

The BEGI FMU is a 1/4" npt thread from what I remember off the top of my head so you'd need an AN adaptor that goes from whatever AN size you are using to 1/4" NPT.

I actually just picked up all the material to switch my boost and oil gauge lines to braided stainless. Goodbye kinking, crappy nylon line. Just a tip...you may want to learn the difference between all the fittings and sizes and not rely on part numbers so much. That can cause you big problems in a pinch.

There was a company on ebay not to long ago that had the fittings to fit on the stock 02 rail, they also had the ones for the firewall slightly cheaper than the aeromotive ones. The store is called custom built motors. Here's a link hope it works,

Also a store on there called nook and tranny llc, that has a lot of fittings.
i used all summit racing fiitings for my oil and coolant lines.

I bought -6an braided hose, hose ends, 90* fittings, the weld on -6an aluminum bung, and the lt1 fuel line adapters and have probably around $120 in them.

I personally prefer to use braided ss over regular rubber lines. I've used on all the cars I've built with great results and will continue to use them.

I currently looking for an aluminum radiator and to get a coolant reservoir built and a custom aluminum thermostat housing made to do all my cooling system in braided ss line as well. Want to talk expense, look up a -24an hose end. they are close to $80 each!
