    What type of adapters available to hook up an AN8 line to a 72 Q-jet?

    Why try to connect a -8 fitting to a Q-jet at all?

    The needle and seat cannot possibly pass that much gasoline. Wasted effort.

    I think I have one for a -6 that has never been used. If interested I will check.

    Thanks, I found an adapter at Summit.

    Modifing needle and seat to increase flow.

    I second that...I have gone in the tens in the quarter feeding a Qjet with a AN -6. -8 is overkill, not even if you had a big return set-up back to the tank....
    Good luck

    Yea, but you look really BAD :idea2:

    If you have the -8 already I would go with, especially if it looks good.

    Not to anyone who knows how much fuel will fit through a needle 'n' seat.

    It could be a matter of having the -8 line and fittings, and not wanting to spend the bucks for -6 line and hardware.

    Otherwise, would -8 line cause problems? :Do No:

    That's what I thought when he posted the question.. Probably got the -8 lines on the cheap and is looking for a way to make them fit.. :idea2:

    Plus what if down the road he puts a holley on it.. Or a bigger motor.. The lines are already run.. I'm a big fan of doing things once. :TU:

    Belittling the guy publicly, who doesn't deserve it, is not how we work around here. :spank:
