6.2 Injector Pump Inlet Fitting

[jj]

Greetings,all. Does anyone know the thread size of the fuel inlet fitting on the back of the injector pump? I need to replace some rubber lines soon and the line between the fuel filter and the IP looks to be a bit of a bear to get to. I'm leaning towards braided hose and A-N fittings. I don't like to do things twice and that stuff will probably outlive me at this point.

Its not that bad to get to, you can just pull the intake off the engine and have easy access. That rubber has been there for 20+years, so replacing it will last at least that long.

Did you ever find the fitting size? I have a brand new injector pump that I just I stalled and that small inlet pipe is the last thing I need to connect the fuel hose from the filter. If anyone knows the size or where to find one of these, please help. Thank you in advance.

JJ, like you I have considered the stainless line with the proper fittings which now come in black. I have to replace the lines anyway and install a spin on filter. The PO installed a Ford car inline fuel filter that I want to get out of there. My only reason for the stainless is I like the look.

Not sure where your truck came from, or maybe that was just a guess?
Anyways, its a personal pet peeve of mine when people post up incorrect information that they offer as fact with no checking.
(maybe your truck has been drilled out for a NPT fitting, if so i apologize)

But...
This isnt a NPT fitting that i just pulled from my 1028.

I dont have my thread gauge here but it is a flare fitting. I need to find a replacement and i'll post up with the exact thread when i check it in a day or so.

and yes i realize this thread is a few months old but it has been googled almost a thousand times, thats how i found it when i was looking for "6.2 pump inlet fitting" so i figured id post the correct information.

The actual thread of the pump inlet fitting measures 7/16 x 24tpi
It is the same fitting on a standard 1/4" hard brake line sold at most auto parts stores. Napa part# BL-460 for example. (Brake Line, 1/4" dia, 60" long).

I'll need to find that in stainless with a NPT or -AN on the other side for my SVO conversion, but at least now i know what to look for.
And so do you.

You're welcome.
I accept cash, checks or beer as thanks.
