I got one from Finish Line and it uses #8 AN fittings....do these fittings need rubber o rings to make a seal?

As I understand, A&N fittings do not require O-rings.

You need to check for sure. Should be pretty straight forward. Sometimes, like mine, you do use a AN straight male coupling to connect to the adapter or remote. On mine, I did use an o ring to seal the bottom up with pipe dope too. Most times your not limited to the -8 size though. It might have that opening but then you just need the larger adapter, -8 to a -10 or -8 to -12 etc. You will know if the adapter is NPT as it will tighter way before it bottoms out, or should. Good luck, Matt
