walbro fuel pump output

Ok, I can't really find anything. The fuel pump is located in the tank, right? I know I'm going to need a new fuel pump so I'm going to get a walbro from rx7store.net. Question is the output from the fuel pump is what kind of connection? I'll be using an earl's performance plumbing -6an in/out fuel filter, so what hose do I need to go from the filter to the pump?

Side question, what hose do you recommend for running up and down the car? Think I could get away with earl's -6an rubber hose?

If you get any of the FC3S specific kits, it's sized for the stock application - 5/16" barbed fitting.

-6AN needs to clamped tight to fit on a 5/16" barbed fitting.

What's with the big -6AN line?
If you're going through all that hassles, why not run a AN fitted fuel pump?

The reason I was going to use the walbro pump is because that is what most people recommend, but I'll look into other fuel pumps on summitracing.com and find one with 6an output. thanks ted.

How much did you spend on that SS AN stuff???
Must've costed a small fortuned???

Personally, I would run a Bosch -044 fuel pump with the AN fittings.
I don't think it's a -6, but you can run an adapter to make it work with your set-up.

Check eBay - there's a seller selling these 044 Bosch fuel pumps for a good price - a little over $200.
That's cheap, cause Pegasus Racing wants $300+ for one!

I haven't bought any fuel stuff yet, I'm doing as much research on the subject as possible before I start purchasing. The walbro is like $110 from rx7store.net.
