But you just want the tap size of the shcraeder valve.
Don't quote me but it is an NPT thread. It could be 1/4" NPT or a metric equivalent.
Cmon, after you bleed the fuel pressure it takes like two minutes to unthread it, you don't even have to pull the intake as youcan see it. With a long extension (1/4" drive) and a deep socket you can have it off quick. Then just take it to ACE Hardware and you'll have the fitting. You are looking for an A/N fitting, sort of a conical shaped head.
This is EXACTLY the same fitting used to fit into the turbo bearing section for the oil feed when you use braided steel line.
I've got an earls fitting downstairs right now but I'm too lazy to go and get it, snap a picture, etc. Maybe someone will link to a picture but I'm sure if he wants nitrous bad enough he'll do the little bit of legwork that is left.
yea ill rip it off today and go for a look around to see whats up. Ill just take the line that came with the kit.

are you looking for somewhere to pull fuel from? its right at the test port for the fuel system, on the fuel rail. they make a fitting for it. you have to pull out the valve obviously.... fuel pressure is easy to bleed off. take off the cap and push the valve while holding a rag over it. bada bing bada boom. just make sure your lines dont rub on the water pump pulley

Does anyone know where I can get that fitting? I sized the Schraeder as a Metric fine thread (M8 - 1.0 or something), so I'll need to switch that to a AN fitting for the fuel line.

Same as I said before, the hardware store has the metric thread to A/N fitting.  If you haven't removed your schraeder valve and gone down to the local ACE Hardware or similar store by now to match up the fitting end then you are hard-headed!  Or scared. lol  All it will cost you is $1.50 max for the part.

I went to TWO hardware stores, thank you very much!  Like I said, it's a metric thread... unfortunately, the two hardware stores nearby didn't have AN fittings... one barely had anything, lol, and the other was Home Depot... they suck for specialty fittings. I'm going to look up Ace and a few others around me.... But metric to AN is a common fitting?

I wouldn't worry about it... I just need to find a better hardware store. Like I said, l�© Despot is not much good for "specialty" anything.
