https://www.fiero.nl/forum/A...090907-1-062097.html
here are my question
1. on the page one 10-27-2006 11:10 PM . he said that i will need a small amout of 7/16 od tubing
i call many parts store and they say they only have 3/8 and 5/16 od tubing where i can find that in a hardware store ... ????

2. on the page one 10-28-2006 04:54 PM . he said On the main rail ( lower right hand side of fixture photo) a 7/16 by 3/4 " coupling needs to be pressed in .
does it is 7/16 by 3/4 or its an error and its 7/16 by 3/8 ???????

3 where i can find a coupling like the one mentionned in the question 2 ?????? do i take 3/8 and i flare it on one side to have 7/16 on the other side ??????

many thanks for all your help

1. Instead of using a 7/16 coupling I drilled out the elbow fitting just enough to slide the fuel rail in.

2. I think he means 7/16 by 3/4" long but if you carefully drill out the elbow you won't need this.
