We're about ready to start up our newest project- 327+.060. Freshly rebuilt with all new everything- heads to pan. We put a new Holley mechanical 130 gph fuel pump on it and was going to run new 3/8 fuel line from the pump tothe carb. Seem the fitting on the pump is 3/8 male NPT and the fuel line is 3/8 male flare. We don't seem to be able to find 1 fitting to make that transition. Can do it with 3 fittings, but it is a long mess and looks leak prone. Is there a better way or does someone make 1 fitting to do this? Or do we need to make a new line and put on our own fitting?
Thanks,
Dennis

Any FLAPS that carries Weatherhead fittings will have a 3/8" NPT male-to-3/8" female SAE inverted flare adapter - very common fitting.
