looking around for this late model push connect fuel line 5/16" to -6AN fitting . but the one i need has to be female thread not male on the -6AN side .

anyone seen something like this ? thanks and have a good day . :waytogo:

edit : i can even do a female -6AN to 1/8" female pipe or male if need be .

Earls had a listing for one when I got my vortec adapter fittings. They came up under "fuel adapter fitting" @ summit
 
cool thanks . posted this before dinner so it had time to be seen . now dinner is done i am off to digging up something i can use .

oh ya and staying away from earl's products for personal reasons i have .

looks like russell or a few others i have choices with .

-----------------

looks like this will have to do for the fitting and add in the other with 1/8" pipe thread . https://www.summitracing.com/parts/rus-614016

thanks again for the help or looking and thinking .

i think the Aeromotive fitting is 3/8" hose, but you could use a 3/8 to 5/16 hose adapter.

Also, i think Fragola has stuff that might be up your alley:

Also, i think only in 3/8, but again easy to change to 5/16.....

i ordered this, for my return line, from the regulator, setup:

But since you hate holley, and at this point i don't blame you, then:
https://www.amazon.com/Aeroquip-FCM1512-Aluminum-Socketless-Straight/dp/B000CIHV8O

And then, use Aeroquip's push-on hose.

A class-action lawsuit could really get holley to get their act together. Just sayin'.

none of this will work . my end is a late model efi quick connect NOT a barb hose end .

thanks for looking and links tho .
 
You can look on Swagelock. But I don't think they are gonna have that. If anybody would, it would be there. Chances are you're going to need to use a Swagelock tube adapter instead of a one piece fitting. Then make a small section of you're push connect to fit into the tube adapter.

But that all kind of sucks. Why use the push connects?
 
Also if you are doing different fuel lines just start at the fuel line connectors at the frame next to starter and get the metric o-ring fittings to -6AN adapter and do new PTFE lines up the firewall to where you they go. I suggest PTFE since its thinner externally but same dia internal and it holds up to ethanol fuels if you ever switch to E85 or flex fuel which most high end ECUs can do these days.
 
read my BUDGET BEATER build thread in the driveway section .

i made my lines from the tank to the engine already with nylon like the newer vehicles .
 
ya that style stuff . but not all the crazy AN prices for all the stuff . and i can now repair and build lines on late model stuff if need be .

kit has lots of repair / slice and new ends .

then you can get rolls of new line 25/50/100ft each roll .

so in review ........... atpturbo quality control sucks .

the fit & finish for this fitting lacks the quality level we are use to seeing in AN fittings at the same price point .

my 5/16" to -6 was not made correctly and didn't let the fuel line clip over it as the body hit the hex before the clip could engage . the shaft section was to short for the lip to hex area . oh and the 3/8 was made right but still finish level or care sucked .i cant recall what one it was but 1 had a nick in the tube area were the o-rings seat to hold the fuel in place and not leak i had to buff out .

it was the weekend and i needed the fitting to work so i went over to my buddy's shop and we turned it back just a hair to make it fit but not cut off to much of the hex to possibly compromise the fittings strength . this worked but then we had to trim the clip tabs back a hair to make it so i can get the fitting off if i need to service the system .

i called them and got a guy on the phone and he went out and checked the box of fittings and said they all look good but wait here is 1 a bit different . he asked if i could measure mine that's wrong and email him the info . so i did and he called back and went round and round and wanted more measurements still . he said we can send you another and it might be right ? ? and you can mail back the defective one ...... or just keep it ...... its up to you . :dunno:

so a 14.95 fitting that's crap quality / made wrong / and you want me to ship it back 3,000+ miles ? ? ?

at this point its not leaking so i am just running it .
