I'm having difficulty being able to determine what I need. These are examples of fittings I have with o-rings in different locations. The one on the right screws right in and might seal against a hole deep in the connection. The one on the left is too big so I can't test fit it, but it might seal to a very small groove at top of fitting.
Anybody know which is correct? I need to order a tee for return line but don't know which style to get. Thanks.

| It appears that the fitting to fuel filter is 16mm x 1.5 and is of the style on the right side of picture above. |

I'll be damned... I've had the right fittings the whole time. The fittings for LS1 F-body fuel filter and fuel return t-block are the same as the TPI fuel rail adapters I already have (ACCEL p/n 74730). This just slashed $25 from my budget!  |

Jon, do you guy's not have an oil filter service place out there? Around here we just go to William's and get any type of crazy fittings like that. The one on the right looks like a Saginaw box fitting.  |

| No, I've never noticed a shop like that. But maybe I just haven't looked. I'll keep my eyes open. Thanks! |

I haven't seen one over here in Kitsap either, but I've found fittings and hoses that I've needed at a hydraulic hose shop. The local one here is Belfair Hose - they made up my braided brake lines while I waited. _________________ 92 Camaro

Williams is good. We also have Western Fluid Components who carries alot of metric fittings, but can be pretty spendy. _________________
