Default AN fittings and braided lines question

Im getting rid of my old catch can and switching to a Morose setup, but this time I dont want to just use rubber hose, i want to use AN fittings and braided lines to dress it up a bit. I want to find a fitting that will fit over the stock valve cover nipple and then go to an AN male end, where i can then add the female and braided lines.

I tried searching, but i can figure out what to call it, or if it even exists.

Thanks

I don't think you will find a fitting for that because AN fittings are supposed to be sealed. You would have to get a fitting that is barbed on one end and AN fitting on the other an put a small hose in between if that is the route you want to go. I have fabricated valve covers so it is a little different but I drilled and tapped my oil cap to have a AN thread that goes to a 90* barb fitting for the PCV system.

Well theres a fitting that attaches to my stock fuel line and has an AN fitting on the other side. So i was just assuming i could find that for the valve cover and valley cover.

Do the ones on the valve covers have a barb or a lip on them? I have fabbed ones so I don't remember. If they do you could probably get away with using a quick connect fitting. However they are around $35 each.

I use quick connect fitting with plastic locking insert to -6AN line into catch can. I use same fittings on my fuel pressure regulator as well

Look up:
