I bet with a little persuasion you can get the same ID sized hose to fit both 8 and 9.5 fittings....

The AirTex unit seems like the way to go, but has 8mm inlet and outlet. It would be great to find a pump that has 9.5mm inlet and outlet (plus a fuel filter with the same). Just trying to avoid the number of adapters it takes....always feels like building Frankenstein. |

I take the brass inlet fitting on the airtex e-8445 and remove the nipple, then fit it with this:  That is a fuel filter for a carbureted Ford. The inlet on this is the same size as the suction port on the tank, and it is a filter to protect the pump from crap in the tank. |
