Default ? on Incon Fuel Pressure Regulator

Does anyone know if the fittings on the Incon regulator are removable? I've put a wrench on them and they don't look like they are coming out. If I knew they were screw in pipe threads, I don't care if I break the regulator getting them out.

I'm talking about those male GM fuel quick connect things.

I want to swap it out for a CAS regulator that I bought, and I can't find any commercial fittings for retail.

Hell, if I could buy two pieces of aluminium with those GM ends, I'll weld them to the fittings that came with the CAS part.

Thanks.

Yep pressed in. You can get adapters from these guys:

www.performanceplumbing.com part number: 5800. Or you could cut the flare off of the aluminum tube and use a hardline to hose adapter, etc.

Either of guys have ls1-edit and a 99 car. My computer crashed and no more ls1-edit.

Thanks, but the 5800 is the female part.

Basically, if I remove the Incon regulator, I have a plastic line with a female end in, and a plastic line with a female end out. I need to attach two male GM EFI fittings to the regulator.

I could use the 5800's in conjunction with two short pieces of hard line with male ends, which I know I can buy... but a single adapter would be cleaner.

The male quick connect is just a flared piece of tube, a hydraulic shop might have the necessary tool. Or you could just buy a fuel filter cut the ends off and weld them to AN fitting.
