Looking for help (hopefully with some pictures) to show how you go from the out going fuel filter port to a hard fuel line that eventually gets to the engine.

If you are building a SBF pushrod V-8 car, then Sir Edwardb's 2nd build thread is a great source for tons of pictures and insight:

In the event that you are building a Coyote Powered MK-4, then his 3rd build would be your better choice for reference material:

NOTE: He's helped the heck out of me and many 1st time builders and both of these builds were Autorama 1st Place Award Winners!
Good Luck & Have A Great Build!

Thanks. I went to the third build but it appears he is not using the factory five fuel pick up so the pics, while vivd, don't really apply to my dilemma. I haven't received any other input so I wondering if I didn't describe the problem accurately???
The complete kit comes with a section of nylon tubing with quick disconnects to connect to the fuel pickup in the tank and the FFR supplied filter. Thare are also some additional fittings and a length of rubber fuel line to get you from the filter to the hard lines. It's clearly described in the assembly manual. Any connections at the engine are up to you to buy as there are far too many variables to provide parts with the kit.

Thanks again. The pics with labels really helped. For some reason the pics didn't download yesterday but got them today which clears up the "send" question I had.
What about the return line? Do I need to buy some hosing with a smaller diameter since the send port on the pick up is smaller or can I use what's provided?

Your fuel delivery system will determine if you need a return line or not. If not, just cap it. If you need a return line, the simplest approach is to clamp a piece of flexible fuel line directly to the return port and then use an appropriate adapter to connect your return line to your regulator, EFI, ???. You can use flexible for the full length to minimize the need for adapters.
