Fwd: [Diy_efi] quick connect fittiings

Thu Feb 9 22:09:56 UTC 2006

I like the pigtails as an option, but as I often do, I changed horses mid
stream.  I ended up going with AN fittings on braided line, and needed a
similar adapter to attach to the dead-head fuel rails on my Magnum engine
project.  I found these after considerable searching online:

That was to a friend of mine installing a New Hemi in his 67 Barracuda
convertible, and it appears to take the same fittings.  I think at some
point, I'd like to try plumbing my entire fuel system with the nylon fuel
line, as it looks to be pretty tidy, and light as well.

If astehtics aren't a problem, just get the other half off a junkyard car,
make a splice somewhere on the tube and double-clamp a piece of flexible
fuel hose over it (make sure to remove all the burrs first)  so that the
stock flared piece fits on the fuel rail, and the new piece  with a quick
connect (junkyard or otherwise)  is still intact allowing you to not have to
change fitting types.
