Trying to work out how to adapt the fuel inlet to the fuel rail and return off the FPR to AN.
Working with this fuel rail style ('83-'87?) that is threaded inlet and barb outlet at the regulator.
The inlet is threaded -- but what thread type? The outlet off the FPR measures out to like, 8mm O.D. I'm shooting for cutting the fuel hardlines down by the trans tunnel and then using AN compression fittings to make them -4AN male threaded at the spot I cut them. This'll be a non turbo motor so -4 seems like it will be plenty big Anyone have any clue if I can accomplish this without brazing on new fittings to the rail?
For the feed I'd just need to figure out exactly what size/style the thread is so I could try to find an adapter fitting that went from that to -4. For the return I guess I'd just need to figure out an 8mm fuel hose that I can clamp onto the FPR and then on the other end of that get a -4 to barb fitting to clamp that same line onto that then threads onto the -4 fitting on the return hard line I want to cut and run compression -4 on down by the tunnel.
Fake Edit: Just remembered Jordan did this sorta on his car. Given he ran new line all the way from the tank, but same idea I want to do at the rail:
