Can someone say for sure what size oil lines I have here? I need to buy a couple of AN straight end connectors (if anyone has some for sale) and don't want to guess. The larger one on the left will be going to the engine mounted oil cooler from the tank and the other is the scavenging side to the tank (sorry, this is for a six if it's not obvious). Could the large one be AN-16 which is optimum, right?

What's the outside diameter of the fittings?
Get that and call either BAT Inc or Pegasus....if you have a local specialty hot rod marine shop. they ususally have that stuff in stock.
since the 'big' one is 1" on the outside of the braid i'd guess it's AN-12 (nominal OD is 15/16").
-16 would be 1-5/32" OD.
here's a sizing chart for you:

the small one looks like -10 ...
Thanks for that chart it will come in handy. 12 & 10 are my guess but wanted to be sure. So, what is the -16 recommended for again, was it external cooler back to tank?

Very good info, Thanks! So - there's no problem in reducing an AN-16 (or -12 for that matter) to this adapter? (It'll be attached to the cooler).... It's smaller than the larger of my two lines. AND I don't know the thread count but I assume it's AN.

oops, forgot the picture.

don't ass-u-me and the thread count is not helpful. IIRC, 45-degree SAE fittings (naturally...) use the same sizes but the flare angles are NOT compatible with AN's 37-deg. find a KNOWN AN male fitting and compare flare angles.
that fitting looked awful small... if the ID of the fitting is smaller than AN-12's nominal ID, it's not gonna flow enough oil...
i'm confused on what you're doing with adapters and such - what is the actual connection to the cooler - and what kind of cooler is it?
and while you may be able to get adapters, stepping down from big lines to teeny ports is not going to get you the effect you need...
Here's a better pic of the adapter.. I'll be using it to attach the AN (prob -12) hose from the oil tank to the on board oil cooler, as you can see in the pic. I will be using a 90degree AN fitting to connect the two.

BTW, I just set that thing on top of the stock (unmodified) slip-on cooler in-let, in the picture.

You should look at a 90degree weld fitting for the oil cooler mod. There are several pics of the oil cooler mod on the site.
Do a search and many should appear.
