Pump to eddy performer fuel line

Im a little confused now. I removed the stock hard line and it was connected to the thread connector at the pump and carb. No flare/barbs.
I did order an edelbrock line like mentioned above, but from Racemart.com for $10 cheaper.
PO installed see through fuel filter before the pump so I wont be using the inline anodized filter from Edelbrock.
