Hey Mac!! I know this was not the purpose of your post, but I noticed that you were planning on permanently bonding your fuel filter fitting due to stripped threads. Ive used a few of these self tapping filter fittings and O-Ring expansion fittings for stripped fittings in my career successfully. It may save having to do such drastic solution as bonding it. Have you looked into them? While they are a good replacemet and I've installed them as stock, but I've also put a Short filter housing with no filter and put an in-line filter in the space that I needed to cut and extend the fuel line. (You will be doing the same if you bond the fitting. May I suggest putting in a short if you do)
Call them directly because they are pretty helpful. And there are othet options including the installing Helicoil threads in you body for you. (the absolute best option if you ask me) Quadrajetparts.com
The fittings page is here check out the 3 pages of options.
