Default 2000+ Corvette Fuel Pressure Regulator/Filter

Does anybody know what the female fitting on the outlet side is?
Hooking it up to a 98 camaro and need to know what fitting to order to go from the T to the filter

This is what you need... But you will have to get some reducers to make it work on the -10 side...

And on a side note.. Why do you want to use a corvette filter with the reg in it... Most of us toss them to go with a 98 filter setup... And run an FPR at the rails. There is quite a price difference in the 98 filter and the 2000 filter/reg setup...

Because the regulator housing on my 98 is deformed and incapable of holding in the O ring on the pressure regulator. Trying to keep the returnless system since I don't want to pay for aftermarket rails and I haven't been able to find a set of 97-99 rails, but I just really don't like the in tank regulator set up on the 98's. I've dropped the tank to swap the fuel sender assembly and had the same problem again, this time I cut the access panel everyone else does and I want something that won't blow out.

I here what you are saying. There are multiple options out there. You can remove the pulse damper from the rail and install a fitting there and run a return that way. Or you can tee off of the end of the rail (-4) and run a return that way...

Here is a pic of my old 2002 vette rail with the pulse damper removed and a -6an fitting installed in its place to make a return system. You can also see the -4an fitting on the front of the rail... Just trying to show you some options before you upgrade something that in the future you may replace when you need to go to an adjustable reg...

I'll definitely remember that if I upgrade in the future, looks like the way to do it, but I've already bought the corvette regulator and removed all the lines from the T block back. I think I'm going to order a new short metal line with a male 3/8 quick disconnect and whatever the screw fitting they use on the T block is. with that I should be able to use a stock feed line and a longer version of the original return line.
Thanks for your help. I wasn't sure if it was quick connect just because I don't see how you'd remove it once its on, all the ones I've got on the camaro take small plastic clips.

Yep they sock into those clips with the little plastic clips... The new filter/reg you purchased will come with the clip in the female side of it and should have a new clip on the male side also...

It kinda did, no clips on the male sides but that's nbd, I just took those off the old filter and the return line. The female side the clips metal and built in, I just don't see how you get it off once it's on.
Thanks again for your help though, it's a major relief being sure it'll all fit together the way I can see it in my head.
