It depends on where your starting the an. Since you have 85-87 hard lines you might start at the fuel rail.
saginaw 14 & 16mm to an. Then make a flex line to the hard lines on the body.
the lines on the body are male saginaw.

Re: Making Underhood Fuel Lines

I JUST removed my -8 feed and -6 return fuel lines (PTFE) from my TPI setup since I am doing the engine swap in a few weeks. If you want to buy my adapter fittings that go fromthe TPi "rail" setup, I will sell them to you. they can be seen in this photo. they are black anodized fragola fittings from Racetronix.

Re: Making Underhood Fuel Lines

Bringing this thread up.

I need to make fuel lines to connect to my pro flo xt intake with LT1 fuel rails.

I have a 1987 Camaro 305 TPI.

Are the fuel lines that run up the frame rail the same sized fittings as they are at the intake, 14mm x 1.5 & 16mm x 1.5?

What are the fitting sizes right at the hard line by the strut tower?

I want to be able to have a threaded connection to the fuel lines of the car, then convert to the push and clip style of the LT1 rail.
