fuel rail thread sizes?

i finally pulled the upper manifold off to get a real look at the fuel rails and they are different than they appeared with the manifold in place. looks like its a corvette manifold from the part number. no worries. this will work just fine for me

Re: fuel rail thread sizes?

An6 is 3/8 sufficient fir pressure side and fine for return. Are you looking at converting the hardline to an6 with male saginaw at rail ?

yes. the hardlines were missing on my setup. im also using a different pressure regulator so the factory press in tubes arent going to work. i need to see what size the cross over holes are to get my fittings correct.

Re: fuel rail thread sizes?

mine is currently set up like this. i thought it might be factory. i bought the manifold second hand. i didnt want to use rubber hose and clamps for the cross overs. i am planning to use an fittings and the braided line. so -6an is about 3/8. what about -8an?
