Question about a couple fitting sizes and types

[KYkickinit]

I've gotten just about all the parts to do my fuel system from work and I think I'm gonna put it in this Saturday just got to get the last few parts. What size and style connectors do I need to attach to the heads? Also what do I use to attach my 3/8 hose to my stock fuel pump?

Here is the easiest and cleanest way to connect to the stock pump.

Your other options are using a compression fitting or simply clamping the hose to the pump. The ports in the heads are 1/8 npt. I would get some 6an adapters to plumb into the heads.

What about 90 or 45 on the fitting feeding the heads? Thanks

 

[neverkickn]

It all depends. Are you keeping the fuel bowl?

 

[KYkickinit]

No sorry I forgot to mention I was getting rid of it to also adding a new style bdp sump.

It depends on your exhaust clearance. I used two straight 1/8x6an for the front ports on the head. I used a 45*1/8x6an on the passenger side for my exhaust setup and a 90*1/8x6an to run under the turbo intake.

I would use 45's coming out of the front ports and into your regulator. You can mount your regulator on top or the hpo reservoir to make that easy. I don't know how you would need to adapt to the back ports because I plumbed mine in through the fuel rail end plug.

A picture is worth more than an explanation here though. Let me see if I can snap one tomorrow of what I did.

Ok thanks for the help think I might just grab a few of each take back what I don't use

I hadn't seen that before... makes doing my e-fuel conversion on my OBS using and SD pump MUCH easier. Thanks for posting that!

Is there any other place I could get that quick connect to an adapter?

Nope. Swagelok does sell a AN adapter but it is compression style and is a permenant attachment. Besides, they are more expensive.

Ok I was just asking because I don't think I could order one and have it here by Friday afternoon. So guess ill use a couple fuel injection hose clamps.

I've only had this truck for a little over a year so any help with the exact locations of the fuel ports would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

those adapters are available most autoparts places that deal in highper stuff
