    Why is it weird? The car is 50 years old. Lots of parts get changed in a 50 year old car. Lots of manufacturers made the Stage1 pump back in the day, today, not so much. Hang on to that pump arm with the riveted pad. That's even less common than the pump.

    Use push lok or braided -6AN hose. Outlet and inlet on fuel pump are 1/2 NPT, so conversion fitting, 1/2NPT to -6AN.

    As always, thanks! But what about where the line enters the Q-Jet fuel-filter?
