Fuel lines.

I was at the yard, and i was trying to grab the fuel rail extensions, the chrome lines that go from the fuel rail, down to the fuel lines on the chassis.

The issue is, the CFI lines have the typical ends where you pass a clip through them, exactly the same as the fuel filter setup, where as the 5.0 EFI has those round, spring clip things (forgot the proper name), as you see on the a/c system.

what would be the best way to go about getting the proper hose ends, without running all new fuel lines on the car?
It's Gumby's fault.

We used 2 of these fittings, to splice the 5.0 fuel lines onto the car, under the pass. door. Same as the repair kits from the auto parts, but cheaper at Lowes or Home depot.:D You heat the fitting up, and push the plastic line on. After it cools, it's really on there, add a couple of clamps just because.

I shortened the LSC return line I used on my Bird. I just did a diagional cut to remove the end then cut the line and greased up the fitting. With the fitting on a block of wood I just pushed the line back onto it.
