SU Fit Me
Caution: I have talked to Rick at S.S. about his SU fuel line fittings. They are correct, BUT, the machine work is not finished! Must drill a 1/4" completely thru the fitting and then step-drill a 5/16" recess 1/4" deep to receive the fuel line and Farrel. The compression nuts are Brit Straight Pipe.
Better to grab Bryan's originals.

Holley FP
I had a Holley red fuel pump and hated it. The noise was terrible and constant. Finally went to the stock SU from Rick and am much happier.

Barb who?
Barb fittings are you looking to do something smart like put a fuel filter in front of the fuel pump?
I cheated by putting a small screen inside of the fitting. You know one of those head shop ones that they put in their pipes a nice stainless steel or brass screen trimmed down and shoved inside after the ferrule.
Plus one on buy some from Bryan and the deafening grind of a Holley fuel pump. Thank goodness for my boombox. I love the little tick tick tick tick of the stock fuel pump worth every penny for the stock car. Plus it actually shuts off .

Would not recommend
One of those clear plastic ones that have a cylindrical tube held in place by two screwed in end caps with rubber gaskets. The rubber gaskets can fail at any time. Lots of guys don't like the plastic ones in the engine compartment for the same reason except they'll split and spew.
