miniram hard lines
The hard lines in the miniram, are they 3/8" NPT or -6an?
I thought they were -6, but now I'm starting to think they're NPT..

Re: miniram hard lines
Which ones are you talking about? The fitting into the fuel rail? I can go look at mine...

Re: miniram hard lines
if they aren't -6, then they are double-flared. I've never seen a female swivel NPT fitting to a hard line. If you can pull the nut back, see if the AN flare fits snugly into the line, if not, its a double flare, 45 degree.

Re: miniram hard lines
I need to order an adapter to screw into that hard line, and I also need a female adapter to screw into the TPIS saginaw to something else adapter. I just need to figure out what the something else is both male + female.
Long story short, this is for an FMU going on the return side. Unfortunately my stupid *** lost the blue 90* adapters you see in the picture, so I don't know what thread they were. And like I said TPIS was no help.

Re: miniram hard lines
Gotcha...
Sorry, mine doesn't have those lines, it just has the adapters that screw straight into the rails & the regulator.
Can you get a good pic looking into the fittings on the lines, that shows the threads and whatever other details up in there, close?

Re: miniram hard lines
My FMU is 1/8" NPT so I was gonna get some -6an adapters for that, and a 90* -6AN for the fuel rail, and so on with some nice Summit twist-tite hose and be done with it.
I kinda wish I could relocate the alternator to the other side of the motor, rather than spinning it backwards. I can't help but feel spinning the alternator backwards is going to eventually lead to overheating & failure unless I can rig a new fan blade.

Re: miniram hard lines
They are -6AN tube nuts. Weird. I called TPIS twice. They didn't rmeember. Had to get a -6AN fitting to verify.
