Modified SuperRam/TPI Fuel Rails for rear fuel lines?

Has anyone modified their SuperRam/TPI fuel rails for fuel line fittings at the rear of the engine? I'm looking to put -6 AN fittings on the rails, and I was wondering how folks set this up. Anyone selling a set, even better! Pictures!

Okay, after hours of searching I have finally located SOMETHING of interest. I located some pictures of the fuel pressure regulator outlet tube fitting. It is an o-ring type fitting with no threads. Next to it (B) is a fitting that is I THINK made by Street and Performance. I havent been able to find the fitting in their catalog. Anyone know who sells this?

The above fitting takes care of the rail outlet, IF someone can help me find it.

I am still unsure how to go about plugg the original inlet (circled). ...What thread is this?

Lastly, the rails come plugged here from the factory. I need to know what thread/size this is (circled).

Hey, I know this thread is around 2 months old. But, I've got some answers for you. Yes, Your right, they are S&P parts. If you download the S&P 2005 Catalog on page 46 you'll find them in Picture A listed as 6 & 6a. Their 2005 Cat is not that clear although their 2004 is. They're both AN6 fittings. I hope this helps, I too have been looking. This setup would help me out alot on my swap into a Camino.

Bill

Thanks, Bill. I have already finished modifying my rails and have plumbed my entire fuel system using -6 AN line. I had a fitting welded to my rail in the rear and tapped the regulator for an NPT--->6AN fitting. Hope you get yours figured out!

How did you plug the fuel line going into the fuel rail? I also thought about tapping the regulator, but since no one had mentioned it I figured there was a reason. What size NPT did you go with?
That would be a cheaper route.
Thanks Bill
