basiccally, i want to get an adapter to get the quick disconnect fitting to a -8AN line. Kinda like this for a ford but for an LS1:

i looked at all those part #s on summit and not one will give me an AN fitting off the LS1 rail utilizing the quick disconnect function

Only place to get a fitting for the LS1 fuel rail is from Nitro Dave at NitrousOutlet.com

But his fitting is a -6an. He tried to get an 8an to fit on there, but no go, only -6an.

will a 6AN from a fuel rail to line be adequate? It'll be a good 2' span. The line is only 3/8" anyway

Dave

 

-6an is 6/16 or 3/8" line anyways. Its more than adequate

 

Summit has the adapters for a 6an line, Russells part # 640850

 

This is the female side of the quick disconnect. I assume he wants the male side. That fitting only Nitro Dave sells.

 

actually I think that is the side I need, it will slip onto the fuel rale male.

Thanks for the part #'s, just what I needed.......jt

 

JTmiller looks familiar, I believe you bought your LS1 engine from me. This is Lynn. How's your conversion coming along?

 

Slowly but surely. lol Hope to have it all running sometime in late january. That gives me a few months to work out any bugs before Spring. Couldnt be happier with the engine, it was extremely clean inside and out. Ended up putting a TR224 cam in it while it was out of the car......jt

 

We will have these fittings on all our fuel rail kits very soon.

what do you have for me in the way of fuel rails? I pickd up a 2 pc front cover from you adn it worked well, maybe I can give you some more business

Dave

 

Nasty has some "nasty" fuel rails. (in a good way). Lovely. Get those!!!

 

the only thing i dont like is they are the exact same design as speed incs but more expensive and the rail size is only 3/8" whereas some are larger.

dave

 

Do you need larger than 3/8" NPT? That supports well over 1000whp. I like Nastys because the bracket stuff is connected and welded to the rail where the others you have to put them together and I dont like the way they look at it.

Dixit

 

my only concern is that if the rail is only 3/8" (6AN) why bother w/ any feed larger then 6AN?

Dave

 

Maybe im confused are you mis understood me. The fitting is is 3/8NPT. But the opening is almost 5/8" or so to hold the fuel. You can definetely get a 3/8NPT to -8an fitting.

Dixit

 

i know you can, get adapters. Im wondering if the fact the fitting is 3/8" NPT yet 5/8" ID in the rail restricts fuel flow. After all, you are only going to flow as much fuel as the smallest orfice will support. If i have -8 lines and a 3/8 to 8AN adapter, my bottleneck is the 3/8 (approx 6AN).
