Here where I'm at. The Oil pump has brass fittings and i want to change them out for AN fittings. I was hoping for a straight bolt on but it looks like Im going to have to bust out the old tab and die set..... :thumbs: What do you guys think? Im a little nervous because its such a crital part and i have never done this. If i mess up i will have to reorder another one and I dont have much time. Any suggestions/ideas..

That looks like an AN union (AN fittings on both ends). You need a fitting with NPT (pipe threads) on the end that goes into the pump cover. Should be really easy to find.

No need for any tapping/re-threading.

Scotty is on the money

I just guessed it's a 3/8"npt on the oil pump side, just get the right one. Summit is usually really really fast with their shipping.
