FMU Missing parts??
hey
I bought a used Vortech FMU off ebay, apparrently the guy that sold it to me didn't say it was missing two pieces off from the FMU , what's missing is the two Brass Fittings for the Fuel lines, its located under the FMU and there two holes where the Brass fittings suppose to be. I tried checking on the Vortech site to see if they sell any spare parts for FMU, unfortunely i couldn't find any, so i thought it might nice to ask if you guys know where i can find these fittings here. also if you identify what kind brass fittings is it, that would be great

I don't know the fittings but I assume you could get them from either home depot or a mom & pop hardware store (they have everything).
(not my car, just showing for example)
The top looks like 3/8" male elbow with 1/4" barb fitting. The bottom I have no clue about.

....I still don't understand why people use FMUs. They are pieces of junk. Your injectors weren't meant to run at 70+ psi....your injectors will fail and the engine will blow

Of course there are better alternatives, But not everyone cares about reliability or power....

Re: (rainmanEK)
my friend has an fmu on his itr and it has been there for 3 + years. it is an ok alternative. mustangs have been using then for ever on the vortech supercharger applications. but with the advent of todays cheap or should i say cost effective engine management systems, it makes it kind of obsolete.
the top fitting is a 1/8npt with a 90 degree barbed nipple.
the one in the center is a 1/8npt 1/4 barbed nipple
the one on the outter is a 90 degree 1/8npt 1/4 barbed nipple.
all of which should be able to be gotten from any decent auto parts store. but a hydraulics shop would definately have thaem also.
