Sorry for having to ask what should be a simple enough question to answer myself, but the more I researched the more conflicting information I've run across. I can't drive my Z back home until I get this part, and it's overstayed it's welcome.
I need to find out the correct barbed fitting size for the intake side of a stock 78 280Z fuel pump, so I can buy the correct m18x1.5 x ?? size fitting for this universal pump.
I'm not even sure if I need the part or not because I don't have access to the car ATM without driving a 60 miles trip, and I'm not sure if the pump I put on there 6 years ago uses a universal fitting or not, so before I make another trip out there I need to get the fitting just in case. If I had immediate access to the car I wouldn't be asking, I know some people get upset over "stupid questions" so sorry about that.
I just kept finding different answers to similar questions about the hose ID or fitting size, from 3/8", 7/16", 10mm. They are all similar answers from forums I searched so I'm hoping someone knows for sure exactly what the stock size is supposed to be for the fuel pump intake barbed fitting, the universal fuel pump I bought didn't come with any intake fitting.
I also read that the fitting was oversized, and that some have asymmetrical hoses with one side bigger than the other? My best guess would be 7/16, but if it's actually 10mm which would make sense then I want to get that.
I've uploaded a picture of a similar pump with the kind of fitting I'm trying to size installed, I just need to know for sure what size barb to get. Thanks for the help.
