I'm currently replacing my fuel line on my 52 suburban from the fuel pump to the carb. After bending the line to fit I realized the fitting for the 5/16" line was too big for the fuel pump. It looks like someone had replaced the fuel pump recently. They just cut the line off short and used a rubber hose to connect the line to the pump with the appropriate fittings. How do I fit this stuff together properly? I'm also replacing the vacuum line to the timing advance. It looks to have a compression fitting going into the carb. Is this how it shoud go back together? Thanks.

If I remember correctly you will need a reducer at the pump and that is stock. Any parts store will have the fitting. And yes the vacuum line is flared at the advance and compression fitting at the carb.
