I've bought AN fittings from Summit Racing, dont recall what particular brand they were. But.. the key is.. AN is AN is AN.. and SAE is not. Earls is fine.

Probably a dumb question but do the AN fittings sold by the auto suppliers
such as Earl's have the same flare angle as the aviation fittings sold at
Spruce etc?

It's time to select a fuel filter.  I know it's a little oversized, but
I'm running 3/8" fuel lines at least to the firewall, just to make sure
I'll never run into a restriction problem with fuel delivery (at least
not a restriction that can be attributed to undersized lines).

I'm trying to source a part for filters right now, but I'm not sure what
constitutes good numbers.  The Earl's filter I'm looking at says that it
traps down to 85microns and is good for 4 to 5gpm.  That would translate
to 300gph?  Does it strain well enough to act as the primary filter?

This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against
instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
