Hey guys! I need your help. The -6 to something weird fittings that I got for my GE fuel last summer are not giving me a warm and fuzzy so I need your help sourcing the correct item. Yes, I have contacted GE but I wasn't too pleased with handling fee they want to charge to ship to a military PO box.

You don't have to buy the item for me, just point me in the correct direction. I need -6 adapters so my old fuel setup with mate to the rail. Yes, I can get -6 male fittings welded to the rail but that would be a waste of a good rail since I want to upgrade a -8/-6 setup next spring.

Thanks and happy holidays from the JDM motherland

 

Is the hole on your rail an AN o-ring boss? do you remember what size AN ORB it is or what GE part number your rail is? if you go to http://www.summitracing.com and do a search for AN STRAIGHT CUT or AEROMOTIVE FITTINGS you'll get a bunch of o-ring boss fittings. Earls makes a lot of the same AN to ORB reducers/fittings that Aeromotive does but you have to look through all their fittings to find it.

 

Have you checked your redneck bibles. (Summit / Jegs)

They both carry what you need I am sure.

 

The porblem is I have no idea about the size of the rail side NPT hole. We have some extra -6 to 1/2" fittings in the shop and those did not fit.

I use AN plumbing to find PN's and then I order the parts from Summit

Oh yeah, it is the O-ring boss type.

 

Do you have any extra AN fittings laying around that you can screw in there? the thread pitch will still be the same. If you have an -8AN fitting laying around it hsould screw in. That'll tell you it's an -8AN thread pitch, so then you can get a -8AN ORB to AN flared.

Do you have a part number for the fuel rail? or what kind of motor the fuel rail was for?

EDIT is it an older style GE fuel rail or something? I looked on their site and all of their B and D series rails say they have -8AN ORB ports.

 

I found my old fitting packages. PN991956 -6 to 18mm-1.5 power steering fitting is what I have now. I hacked the PS specific nipple off of the fittings before I installed them. I am trying to find -6 (and -8) to 18mm-1.5 fitting that isn't for power steeering.

My rail is about 1.5 years old and it came with some useless oddball fittings that found their way to the trash bin

 

Mine worked fine. Get with Flamenco T. I bought my fittings from him

 

Damn, I completely forgot about Stan. Thanks for reminding me

I just read my old post from last year were Flamenco mentioned the -8 fitting so I guess I'll use PN9919EFK 18MM X 1.5 -8 Metric thread male to AN adapter male and make some minor changes to my fuel lines.
