Could someone point me in the right direction to understanding the fittings used on our race cars...

I need to plumb a 1" inside diameter hose from the crankcase (90 degree) and a 1" inside diameter hose to my catch tank.

I don't understand the terminology of the references on the likes of the Earl brand hose connectors ...

like -8AN  -6AN   etc....

In the need to know... the crank vent needs to come from the fuel cover plate and take a 90 degree short run. I think I just need to drill out the valve cover and have a 1" connection to my catch tank which will also need to short 90 degree receivers to catch the blow by from my 1" i.d. hoses....

please don't think I'm dumb... I'm still learning....
