I changed a fuel pump (mechanical mounted below the alternator) on an IH V-345 motor with a 2bbl carb.

The carb has a 7/16 inlet and the fuel pump has a 1/2 inlet, both are female.

EDIT: Here is the fuel line - both ends have this 1/2 inch male fitting (the carb has a 7/16 to 1/2 adapter that the 1/2 male goes into. The issue is that the radiator host manifold (big iron interface) is right in front of the carb inlet so the adapter + fitting + another fitting won't fit)

Here's a small pic of the carb so you can see the manifold in front of it:

Looking at the braided hose, I don't understand what 7/16 and 1/2 inch fittings I need to put into the female carb and fuel-pump inlet/outlet to connect the hose.
