fuel rail install
I am getting things together to install an M-Tuned fuel rail on a 2000 using AN fittings. I believe I have identified what is needed but would like others opinions. Here is my shopping list:
-6AN hose, 10'
2 each straight flare (-6AN to 3/8 pipe)
1 each 90* -6 swivel hose end for front of rail
1 each 45* -6 swivel hose end for rear of rail
1 each 3/8 barb to -6AN (male)
2 each straight -6 hose end
1 each -6 flare T-fitting
Am I missing anything?

The port on the underside of the fuel rail has to have it's edge grinded off in order to fit the '99+ (or just '99-'00?) heads. Otherwise, it won't fit correctly. You'll see when you try to bolt it up. I just test fitted mine the other day, it's not a lot that has to be removed, and fortunately it's on the underside where no one will see it, but it has to be done all the same.

Nope, hadn't done the shopping yet. The fuel lines are definitely 5/16", but 3/8" is not technically that much larger, only 1/16", IDK about using it though.
I see that they're not out there by doing a quick search. I found a 5/16" barb to 1/4" NPT male, that would let you use a 1/4" female to 1/4" female adapter, then a 1/4" male to -6AN male. More parts to make it work with a 5/16" barb.

I can get brass 3/8NPT to 5/16 barb at my local hardware store. I want 5/16 barb to 6AN.
But, as in life, I guess we can't get everything we want.
I want M-tuned coolant reroute also!!!!!
