Does anyone know the size of this fitting ?

[1984 t-type]

I'm looking for the size and pitch of the male side that comes off the feed line and attaches to the rubber half that holds the filter. What I'm trying to do is attach a adapter to it so I can then attach a -6 AN line to it and run that up to my intake. Thanks

That is a metric o-ringed "Saginaw" fitting. Prolly gonna be tough to find a female adapter that will fit. Fragola performance may have something....it's more than likely 16mm x 1.5 and btw, a -6 line will be smaller than the stock 3/8" feed line you are removing....not sure I'd use that. -8 would be a better choice.

Going to be using that as my return line and running teflon -8 line as the supply, thanks for the help ill try and track down a fitting today.

would there be an easier way to attach -6 to this line for a return ?

There are fittings available to do what you want to do. I'm just not sure where I saw them last. Probably summit or jegs

Here is what you are looking for....the 16mm x 1.5

these are Fragola performance part numbers....(standard color is blue...the one with the "BL" at the end is black.

Thanks fellas

what size is that same fitting on the original return line ?

Racetronix has all the fittings you need I believe. The easiest way to run AN lines would be to get the AN fit fuel sender from racetronix, and the supply and return fuel rail fittings from them and just run -8 supply with an inline filter and -6 return from front to back. This is how I am doing mine. They make fittings that go on hard lines so you can use AN stuff but I've never used them. Use summit for fittings and hose if your trying to stay cheap, they are usually a buck or two cheaper than jegs brand per fitting on -8an stuff and their line is a lot cheaper too.

that's my plan except I was going to utilize the current feed line as a return to help keep my cost down, went and looked at the racetronix fuel line kit in person yesterday and while it is a nice kit its just way overpriced in MY OPINION

 

[turbonut85]

Pretty sure the stock return fitting is 14mm x 1.5

 

[Dmrtn9203]

I'm pretty sure your right, 14x1.5 sounds right and I think the feed was 16x1.5 at the fuel rail. I don't remember what racetronix is charging for the line kit, I just bought the fuel rail inlet fitting and the AN fuel sender/ fuel pump through them since I needed one anyways. Everything else was purchased through summit

Would you mind supplying me with a list of what you used ? I'm in the process of trying to figure it out now.

My parts list
Feed line-
Summit- 8AN hose ends x4 220890 $6.97 each
20ft 8AN Hose 230820 $84.97
Inline 8AN fuel filter 650100 $23.97
Racetronix- 8AN to 16x1.5 machined adapter 392-460816BLM $7.76

Return-
Summit- 6AN hose ends x2 220690 $4.97 each
20ft 6AN hose 230620 $74.97
Racetronix- 6AN to 14x1.5 machined adapter 392-460614BLM $8.46

I'm using the racetronix AN fuel sender in the tank though, so if you dont use that youll need to measure the lines coming off the sender and get the fittings that go from hard line to the AN line. Also, you can save money on hose if you get the PTFE style, but then you have to buy more expensive fittings. I also believe you can save about $4 a piece on the fittings from racetronix if you dont get the machined out ones. I believe this is about the simplest and most cost effective way of running the fuel lines

If you are running E85 you will want to run the PTFE hose....not the regular braided rubber.

E85 isn't really available much around my area so I hadn't even really thought about that. Good info
