    Who made those fittings? Are they crimp on or reusable?

    @ prerunner404 ... the hoses and fittings are from Parker and are crimped on

    Ok. You crimp them yourself or have them done somewhere?

    Thank you Luwi67, I'm going to order or buy it from a junk yard so I can do away with the original secondary, I know it may not provide any improvement, but I will make me feel better knowing that fuel will flow with the lowest restriction ever.

    Did you just take the old lines over to them?

    yes, also be prepared to let whoever does your hoses know how you want the fittings clocked, should you decide on using the crimp on fittings.
