Quick connects

I would like to go to quick connects from my pallnet fuel rail to my injectors. Where do I get the quick connects and how do I hook them up? Thanx

I got mine from MSA. They are about $9.95 a piece. Of course it looks like they went up, since the last time, I ordered them. (a few years ago) But still, well worth the price. And all you have to do, is either solder them to your fuel injector wires. Or you can use wire connectors. One of the best investments I made to my aftermarket fuel rail setup.

Wait... quick connects for the actual injector fuel coupler (o-ring / barb), or the wires? I assume you do mean the wires like Wildman mentioned... but they don't connect to the pallnet fuel rail, just to the injectors.

If you do mean the wire connectors, you can score them the easy way at a junk yard (possibly FREE 99 ):

GM 3.8L fuel injector harness (on most all Pontiac / Buick / GM 3.8L EFI motors):





And the MSA style quick connects (I also scored these for free at a junk yard):

I meant the fuel line from the barb fuel rail to my stock injectors. Thanx for the info about the wires, I'll have to go out to the junk yard.

Fluid disconnects like on hydro lines. i have not seen them that small. Military deals allot with the larger ones.

What about Jiffy-Tite connectors?

They should fit, 1/4 inch NPT...

I poped a power steering hose few weeks back. ain't been able to get down there to replace. I am thinking of something similar for that. After years of road use, the mounts for the lines are all mangled, and on there very well. being able to leave the hard lines, and replace the rubber lines would be a bonus.

Those jiffy ones look like they will work, but how would you put them on the barb style injectors?

I thought you were talking just the inlet and outlet. Guess I should read, sorry... The injector hoses would probably just be best hose clapmed on...

From what I've seen, the connector you slip it into the hose and clamp it down, then the other NPT end screws into the rail. If these are what you're looking for it would be best to contact a rep and see if they can handle the fuel pressure, hose size and what not...
