I guess I'll just wait until I have the pumps in hand to order related hardware. Any insight on filters. The ones I've looked at for efi systems (example: Chevrolet p/u) have special o-ring type connectors that would require some special fittings. Do you have a "favorite" that you prefer, or would any high-pressure efi filter do the job? I guess its too much to expect to find a suitable filter with AN fittings for less than $100/ea. Sorry to drag this out, but I would like to do this only once. ;-) Mark S.
