	Did the rubber line thing on an old beater (82 Ford Granada wagon that you
had to stratigicaly place your feet in the rain or get wet).  The repair
lasted 4 months but after the Fords final off road bashing I noted that the
lines had noticabley worn at the clamps and other attachment points.  I
would not consider this a permanent solution.  
	The ACCEL cataloge has Saganaw to AN adapters but seem $$, luckely you
want need a large number of these.  Just to make hose from fuel filter to
fule rail.  From fuel filter to pump use setup from stock GM vehical.  For
return pressure is not great can use old carb line.
