If you go with A/N line, double check it's ethanol rated - which should drive the price up another 25%. That will resist the 5/10% blends we use today. Standard A/N is 30R7 rated for 1960's gasoline and obsolete in that application.

For the cost vs performance, 3/8" SAE 45* flared tubing is the best. It's naturally ethanol resistant, it can be easily formed, and clamped down with simple metal clips. You can find it at any parts store. A/N isn't.

I believe the "standard" Chevy EFI fuel filter has 45* degree flare nuts each end. Needs to be checked to verify - but - is it really necessary? Dodge uses a big pleated filter instead of a pump sock, and eliminated one in the line completely. If your pump sock micron mesh filters particles smaller than the injector orifice, its going to pass thru, just like in a carburetor. I never rebuilt a carb that didn't have junk in the float bowl. I think more of it comes from rusty steel tanks in the car than in the ground - the latter were outlawed decades ago.
