I recently purchased this intake with fuel rails.

I've heard about AN fittings but other than that I don't know much about these type setups.

What type of line do I use to connect the front of the rails? Are they available at parts houses or are these something you need to order from a company? Basically any info on how these need to be connected would be very helpful.

Those rails SHOULD be fitted with a 3/8" NPT thread on them, so what you need it you need:

(x2) 3/8" NPT -> 8AN 90 degree fitting
about 12 inches of 8AN steel braided line.

As soon as you are done, it should look something like this:

Thanks for the response. I couldn't really find anywhere that discussed that particular subject.

Is it possible to run a hard line between the two fittings? I'm most likely going to be painting this and I think a hardline would be easier to paint.


Thanks,
