ok, i wanna hook a fuel pressure gauge soon, and also with the HO intake cam i'm not sure if the feed fuel line clear the power steering pulley. so i decided to change that line with a braided line.
So my question is, will a -6an fitting bolt right up to the feed fuel line?
thanx.
The end of the hard bent line needs to be flared (42, not 37 degrees), or you can use a crimp on connector. I don't know of anyone that makes a fitting to go from the GM quick disconnect to AN.
i mean, will i 6an fitting bolt to the fuel rail??
why 42? i tought that an fitting needed a 37 degree!!
what i wanted to do i cut the feed line near the rubber line, put the nut, sleeve than flare (37 degree), then the male union with 1/8npt tap in it, then the hose fitting, then braided line all the way to the fuel rail. how will i hook the braided line directly to the fuel rail? is that even possible? or i'll have to cat the line near the fuel rail and put a male union again!!!
thanx
Purechoice ( www.purechoicemotorsports.com ) makes a fitting that you attach to the hard line with a -6an fitting on the end. Part # 5800 That is what I am using and so far no problems. I think you need either a 3/8" or 1/2" NPT to -6an fitting on the stock fuel rail. I will have to look at mine to be sure

Under what section did you find that part number?
huh.... wait a minute....
so 3/8 will bolt to the fuel rail?
it seems small compare the size of the nut that bolt to the rail which about 3/4"....
Ohhh to the fuel rail... Thought you asked the size of the stock line... my bad...
yeah, what size will bolt to the fuel RAIL?
thanx!

You need a 3/8" to -6 fitting. That bolts to the factory and RK Sports fuel rails

Are you sure that 3/8" will bolt to the rail? because looking at it, it measure about 3/4". The line is 3/8" tho!
anyone?? i just went to the hardware store, and 3/8 is too small, its 5/8, but 5/8 wont bolt the rail, the thread is different!!!
i dunno what to do....
Did you try 1/2"??? I can't find my receipt on what fitting I bought. I went to Jegs with the fuel rail and test fitted the fitting before I bought it

i couldn't open them all to try it. the guy told me its 5/8, but the thread is different and that i had to go to a car store, because that was just plumbing for house.
maybe its 1/2" i'll go try it out tomoroow at a different store.
thanx
went to the store and tried 1/2" and its not working.....
I'm lost now!
anyone can help?
thanx
i finally found it, so for those who might need this in the future, its 20mm diameter and 1.5mm thread pitch.
now where can i find 20mm x 1.5 female to -6an male???
Earls has a 20mm male to -10 male adapter, and they also have a -10 female to -6 male reducer. I can't find a 20mm female to female coupler though.
yeah, if i cant find anything i'll cut the line before the rail and put a -6an nut/sleeve on it!!
I just wanted to be cleaner and bolt directly to the fuel rail....
thanx
You could also try calling Pegasus Auto Racing 1-800-688-6946. If they don't have something on the shelf, they'll probably be able to tell you where to find it. I know they have 30mm to AN stuff, so chances are they have 20mm.
