#6 steel braided line

(1/3) > >>

fat tony:
i just finished rebuilding my q-jet with the cliff's hp kit. also, everything new on the inside as per cliff.
i have a #6 steel braided line from the fuel pump to the carb. its a holley right now. i want to connect it to the q-jet fuel inlet. its a 1976 pontiac q-jet. what size is the thread that goes in the front of the fuel inlet. 3/8" npt doesn't fit. is it a straight pipe thread? what should i get or what can i do to the fuel inlet? i have everything necessary if i have to drill & tap.
thanks,
tony

Shark Racer:
The front of the fuel inlet is a normal SAE thread. Can't remember what size, but it leverages a flare fitting.

not sure what year they changed . but i believe yours should be a 1 inch 20 threads per inch. if cliff doesnt sell them you can get one from summit or quadrajetparts .com you can get ether no.6 or 8 the older carbs took a 7/8 . hope this helps

fat tony:
the carb end is a 1"- 20. but, i thought i saw in cliff's book the fuel line side had something like an earl's fitting to connect to a braided hose. what i'd like to find out is what size is the fitting going into the fuel inlet or was the inlet nut drilled & tapped to get it in there.

 Like 429bbf noted, you need the 1"-20 AN fitting. I am sure if you call Cliff's shop, he will have what you need. :)
