Search Results for Fuel Rail Fitting adapter - SummitRacing.com

the only one that carry is a -6 to fuel rail, never seen a -8. maybe you can run the -6 female to -8 male im not really sure if they make those.

The Russell Performance 640850 adapter will clip directly onto the fuel tank fitting. It has a -6 fitting, so you'd have to have an -6 female to -8 male adapter.

EDIT: that fitting is for the fuel rail.

Well wouldn't it fit the fuel pump too if its made for the fuel rail? they both use a barb for the clip to ride on to retain it, i had found one with an -8an outlet that fit a 3/8 with the clip, i'll have to find it again

That will connect to the fuel rail/fuel pump. Thats the same style i used on my 5.3/60e swap. I must have missed that -8 to 3/8" when i was searching for it. It says "metal tubing" so it that a "compression fitting" or a fuel rail fitting?

Well it says its for hard tube, which I'm pretty sure the fitting on the fuel rail and the fuel pump are the same, they just used a clip in the pump for ease of removal in a tight spot in my theory
