Default thread size of OE fuel filter outlet?

I just bought 3/8 NPT to -6AN hose ends to connect my fuel filter to the -6 fuel rail. I guess that wasn't right. Are these M16x1.5 threads on the fuel filter? How have you guys connected OE fuel lines to -6AN? Who makes the fittings? I am using push-lok (Parker) connectors from Fragola. I have a second-hand miniram, where there fuel rails made specific to f-body versus corvette?

Side note, how many hp will the stock pump support on standard 91 octane?

M16x1.5 Saginaw is correct

Fuel rails are application specific but not specific to body - through '88 very similar and 89+. Do you have a particular year you're interested in?

left rail '88 -'91 Corvette, '89 - '92 F body

right rail '88 + Corvette only

this is by 'part # only' and the right being different had direct relationship to fuel line routing I'm quite sure.

Closure: I found M16x1.5 male to -6AN male adapter from Fragola. Then I just use -6AN hose ends on both ends of the hoses.
