Intake manifold Fitting

[viprez586]

My FPR hose barb/ nipple snapped off when i pulled my motor. Wondering if anyone knows what size the thread diameter and pitch is on this fitting.
It's the last nipple on the right.

Tried advanced auto, they don't have it either.

1/16 BSPT, although 1/16 NPT would work if you could find it. The part number for the nipple is MD000579.

You could even go AN if you wanted to add bling! if you have something like an aeromotive, etc.

Damn.. 10 bux each...

Turbosax: You don't happen to know the sizes of the other barb threads do you?

You rock sir, thanks!

Yeah, no bling for me its the stock manifold so unless it was a SMIM I'd consider it.

Now I'll have to dig through the hardware stores.

Good luck finding a 1/16" BSPT/NPT at any local store. I have not been able to find anything smaller than 1/4" NPT and can never find BSPT fittings. I'd advise just ordering OEM and done.

If you're having problems finding the proper tap, you can use a size bigger and get a reducer.

You can buy a 1/16" NPT tap at McMaster-Carr.

No, thanks. I just ordered the OEM fitting. I don't want to have to pull off the manifold just for that little guy.
I noticed Mitsu uses some type of sealant on the fittings. Like that "TFTE" (not exactly sure the name) paste. Otherwise i was thinking of just using telfon tape.

That what you're talking about? I use and like that stuff, or Teflon tape would work fine too.

Yep, picked some up the other day. Good stuff for various fittings.
