    Awesome buddy!

    I see you threaded the front of your intake manifold also. Did your William J. Spheroids shrink as bad as mine while screwing that 90º fitting in just waiting for a piece of the manifold to crack off of the front?

    Ok john, it's just a inline AN-6 fitting with a 1/8NPT port for a gauge. The fitting goes in between the fuel rail and the 90* swivel to crossover line.Ralph would know for sure though.

    It sure did the first time! That is the 2nd one ive done now. Felt a little better this time! lol As a matter of fact, i stress cracked the first intake manifold a bit. You could see small hairline cracks along the top of the port from threading the fitting to deep.

    You rock. I need that fitting :) Did Ralph come up with that? I have perused so many pages of fittings looking for just that with no luck. Then you just casually slap up that pic...I almost inhaled an ice cube.

    Thanks dude.

    Hahaha...Ya, ralph did that up. I am sure he could set you up with the proper fitting. Just to be on the safe side. Glad my pictures could be of help to you! lol

    Very nice! I think that fitting will fit nicely in the system you have on the floor. Between the fitting on the end of the rail and the 90* swivel going to your crossover. Nice looking set up john!

    LOL...the engine pic I posted was a little older...check this one out to see another similarity:
    [​IMG]

    ...BUT, even that changes...Cam's twin going on soon (no worries Ron, I didn't say "TWINS" so he is still all yours) which will require the removal of the catch can bracket and relocation of the can.

    btw, sorry for totally 'jacking your thread!

    John, why the -6fem to -6fem swivel fitting off the T on the back of the pass side fuel rail. A -6male to -6male to -6fem side fitting might reduce the dreaded "-ANstack syndrome":hypno:

    I'm sure MOL has a fitting like this in both -6 and -8....

    Not sure yet...All I can think is that it extends the set-up back so I can rotate the crossover down, and hence the fuel fitting up?

    I'll look into that...I just pulled the shiznit out this evening to take that pic for 666 :)
