Cross Threaded fuel line to fuel rail
Yes I cross threaded the fuel line at the fuel rail connection.
I can get the male side threads cleaned up, but does anyone have the specs for a thread chaser for the female side of the fuel rail?
I don't want to replace the fuel rail if I don't have to...
Thanks

To paraphrase George Costanza, it's hard work being lazy.
I've not even looked at the fuel line issue for a couple of weeks, but I've got to get it fixed. i can take the fuel rail off, and try to find a new one at a junkyard, but if I could figure out which tap I needed, it would be so much easier.
There's a great video about determining thread size and pitch:
But I don't have the proper measuring equipment, and even my caliper needs a new battery:
The nut is 5/8", but are the threads SAE? Anyone? This 4.0 V8 Buick block has a mix of metric and standard components, as you all know...
I'd really appreciate anyone's help here, if anyone knows which tap to use on the fuel rail.
Thanks
