I know some of you have replaced the portion of fuel line near the fuel rails, and I was wondering if someone could tell me what the thread size is or what you used for a kit.  I'd like to order up some new braided stainless lines and fittings to run an adjustable fuel pressure regulator for an upcoming project.  It is on my 88 beretta with a 2.8L.

If I remember right you can get a bolt on AFPR from advance auto.

For my car I had to tig weld an AN fitting to the return side of the fuel rail.  I dont think there is an aftermarket line/fitting that will just bolt on.

I think I may have found a selection of fittings that will work, but I just have to take some measurements on an extra fuel rail I have at home.

I believe the 2.8s and 3.1s use a Saginaw style fitting on the fuel rail.  The specific adapters for the 3100 and 3400 you can get from 60degreev6.com if i recall that correctly.

I have a pressure fitting welded into mine also but if I were to do it again now that these are available I probably would go that way and mount the pressure fitting inline.

i just used the last 10 inches of stock steel line, mainly because those ends in the fuel rail use tricky compression flares for the o-rings, flared em and went from 5/16if- with a tubing nut, to male 1/4npt with a common adapter, then female to female 1/4npt coupler to 1/4 male to barb fitting for my stainless.  then i put on -an adapters for the vortech unit i'm using and reversed the processes on the other side.  don't forget to use sealent on the npt though.  My whole system is rated for an ungodly high 1000 psi though(nitrous grade fittings$$$).
