108287, 4 AN female to 1/8" NPT female
Posted by _asquared, Apr-03-08 03:47 PM
I've been all over the net looking for this fitting and I found something that looks like it might work: http://www.holley.com/17982NOS.asp but I don't like the $25.00 price tag.

and what the hell is a 180 degree swivel? does it free-rotate 180 degrees all the time?

anyone else know of a place that sells these fittings for a better price? Earls and Summitt don't have anything.

this is going to be installed on the test port on my fuel rail (95 ESi-T 420A) for my FP gauge.

on my first testport gauge i used a -4an to -4an Female flare swivel then a -4AN to 1/8 npt conector
*note: if your gauge isnt 1/8 npt then just get the -4an /npt adapter to whatever size the gauge is*

Aeroquip #'s
-4AN Female flare swivel: FCM2914
-4AN to 1/8 NPT :FCM2721


the 180* swivel just means that the fitting will rotate when it is loose and then when tightened it will remain in one spot. this is so you dont have to worry about homant turns you need to get the gauge to face where you want it. they are easier to deal with for positioning things, and most will come this way when going from AN (Female) to NPT (Female)

if you have a local hydralics dealer then they should have the fitting cheaper then $25

well then I'll be making some calls tomorrow to the local hydraulic shops here in the city. hopefully they have something that will work for me. I couldn't find those aeroquip fittings you were talking about but I'm gonna check around.

So I picked up a -4AN female to 1/8" NPT male and a 1/8" NPT coupler. The flare and the coupler look long when I put them together.. will this be ok? These are going on the test port on the fuel rail.

my gauges just came in today so we'll see how she goes this weekend. I'll be doing a writeup on the gauge installs as well so I'll post my results.
