Acufab??

Have the rails etc mocked up for lines. The Saginaw adapter puts the -6 90* into the intake.
I did a search, and found 1 solution. He cut the bottom off, and had a fitting tig welded in.

I've looked at Fragola, and found an adapter that will screw into the reg, and uses an alum crush washer to seal it. That adapter is considerably shorter than the Saginaw, and should be ok.
The base of the reg appears flat and in a large enuf diameter to provide the sealing surface.

The ?: Has Ne1 come w/ a better idea? A pic, and pt number would be nice!

drill and tap the bottom of the regulator with a 3/8 NPS tap. then screw in a 3/8 NPT male 90 deg to -6 male fitting

Post #2 has a pic of how I did mine. I have since changed the route of the return line but use the same fitting just turned forward.

Thot about that, but wasn't sure there's enuf depth to get a pupe thread in there, B4 the tap bottoms out.
Will get on it, and "git'r done"!

Thanks for the help, guys.

chuck,

if you use a tapered NPT tap, then the depth is not enough. That is why i used a straight NPS tap

Yes, what I used but was sourced from a hydraulic supply house and was "JIC" instead of "AN".

Think I'll see what all Jack has, and make an order.

Thanks! Just reread the post, and saw the NPS designation.

metric 1.5 is same pitch as AN when you add the oring its often caller ORB straight (oring boss)

taper is for sealing at threads

I usually use an Earls 14MM to -6 adapter (power steering) and a 120* hose end fits much better

This is the fitting I got from Discount hydraulics on my FPR same one Racetronix sells. Notice how much clearance you get from the intake.
