d1_bradley Apr 29th, 04, 6:37 PM NAPA stores will have what you need. Just take the pump and line down and fit them up. doggy69 Apr 29th, 04, 10:36 PM On a side note how much will a 170 gph pump like the carter be able to supply via the stock line? mc71454 Apr 29th, 04, 11:06 PM I ran 11.30's with a 468 with the stock 3/8 line and then -6 to the carb mc71454 Apr 30th, 04, 8:09 AM Originally posted by ratuned: where can you purchase the fittings to screw into the pump to adapt to a 3/8" line?

My Carter 172 from Summit would NOT fit a 3/8" NPT. mr 4 speed May 2nd, 04, 7:29 AM I installed 3/8 NPT fittings on my 172..no problem. ratuned May 2nd, 04, 9:51 AM the fittings from autozone did not fit. i went to napa and they had the fittings for 3.50 each. so i installed those with some liquid teflon. thanx again for the help guys. mike doggy69 May 2nd, 04, 3:28 PM Anyone not like the carter 172....I want it for my 540 bc the pump on it now is choking it at higher rpms (over 4k)....the pump is a garbage napa replacement $20 jobber left from my 402 JRS70LS5 May 2nd, 04, 11:18 PM The carter 172 is an excellent pump! doggy69 May 3rd, 04, 2:47 PM waiting for baird to chime in with his experiences Troy70SS May 3rd, 04, 8:50 PM What were the name of those fittings? I also want to change the inlet to an -8 but I bought some 3/8NPT to -8AN and they don't fit. Somebody told me they were boss/AN fittings but I haven't been to NAPA. The local speed shop doesn't know what it needs. Troy. Silver69Camaro May 3rd, 04, 9:02 PM Take a 45* flare fitting and cut the flare off. mc71454 May 3rd, 04, 9:52 PM O-ring Boss fitting, they are definetly not pipe thread. I have also used the 45 degree cut off the flare method as well. When I first installed the Carter I adapted it to -6 (3/8) line as well. I called earls and they said I needed a Straight Cut fuel pump fitting, However they recommended a -10 to -6 reducer fitting so that is what I went with. Are you trying to use a push on barb fitting and rubber hose to look stock or do you want to use -6 braided line? | ||
