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?

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.

okay - just so we're clear...

that -is- the suction line to the inlet of the pressure pump.
it kinda looks like it might have something to do with the oil cooler, but the oil cooler is just a fancy mounting bracket for the little pipe that runs under the cooler that connects that fitting to the inlet of the pressure pump.

and before you commit to attaching a straight bumg to the cooler and using a 90* fitting, v-e-r-y carefully measure the amount of clearance available.

and have a look in a couple of the other threads going on right now about /6 cooler fittings - because there is VERY LITTLE clearance bewtwen the cooler outlet and the suspension in that area. that's the big reason why people use angled weld fittings. the OEM 914.6 cooler is different from the 911 cooler for this very reason...
