Looks like this might do the trick for many as it is shorter than the stack up of the Autometer 2267 / Russell 660831 at 1.6", and cheaper to boot!

Haven't put it on, yet. A friend's brother found it, purchased from:

Part #: TFD (Tube Fitting Division) 6M14C80MX
Description: 90* elbow, -6AN male to 14x1.5 male
Cost: ~$16.


I did a search and found this site Parker Hydraulics, Pneumatics, Fluid Connectors, Hose, Fittings, And Related Products , so you can go ahead and contact whichever store you want. Maybe one of our Buick vendors will start carrying them at some point.

Does the nut swivel independently of the fitting--if so looks like a good find --if not it may not point in the desired direction.
 
The nut is used as a jam nut. Screw in the fitting as much as possible then lock it in with the nut.

gnxtc2, exactly. There are two "washers" above the jamb nut. The first is a snug friction fit (can't move it by hand), the second with a large enough I.D. that the O-ring snugly fits inside and slightly protrudes above.
 
Russell 660831

I can't see the Russell 660831 fitting in a stock style regulator, it's has a 1/8" NPT.:confused: Full Throttle has the fitting for the stock fuel rail maybe they have one for the regulator.
 
Finding that metric 90 was a massive loss in time for me, good find.

As long as the opening at the reg end is not super narrow then I see no issues with it. I used an Autometer male to female with a 90 and it barely fit so that should work no prob.
 
Earls makes a saginaw to -6, it is used for power steering lines usually. That with a 120* hose end is the cleanest solution I know of, the -6 line will slide right on to the stock feed line which I usually use for a return.

DR.BOOSTER, I measured 0.295, and yeah, I spent a lot of time researching, too.

pacecarta & Mike, cool, looks like several options are now revealed! Mike, will you post a PN for that earl's fitting?

Thanks,

Dean
 
I used the Earls also, but fitted with the 90 for the -6 return it would slam into the intake.

I ran my return going towards the firewall so maybe you guys are running it towards the AC. But I think it wouldn't work regardless.
 
Oh yeah, I have read ALL of those. You have a sweet setup going there, for sure.

Anyone know of a East Coast supplier for this fitting?

Thanks
