Default Russell Fuel Line Adapters

Is the fuel line connection for the Ls1 the same as the one for LT1's? I want to tap the fuel rail with this connector and turn it into a -6AN fitting.

Spin I think you need the -6an to 3/8 clip for it to it our cars.

Some of the LT stuff is 3/16 clip.

Spin the old C4s with the LT1/LT4 engines used the very same push lock type connector as our LS cars. The only difference is that they also had a 5/16 return line, the main fuel line is also a 3/8 line just like the LS engine equipped cars.

The Russell old blue ones had a problem not clipping tightly and may pull out, we just got the new black style and the body is different and can't pull off or you can use Swagelock fitting. If you need part numbers PM me.

Swagelock is TOP NOTCH = does Earls have the same problem. I do realize Swagelock and Earls are not in the same ball park.

+1 for swagelock.

My fast unit failed, good thing the motor was cold or my JSB would have been charcoal grey

Here is what I did/used....
