I figured out what was necessary when doing my LS1 swap. I used a similar, if not exact fitting to go into the rack (14mm x 1.5 --> -6AN) BUT it leaked.
Problem is that the stock fitting is longer than that Earl's fitting so the o-ring could not seat properly. So, either use the fitting anyways and use some loc-tite or teflon tape and hope for the best or hack off the stock fitting and rig up some other solution (I recommend the Earl's fitting). BTW, loc-tite works great for sealing high pressure stuff, but if you ever need to get it out, better hope you used the blue kind and that you don't end up stripping the aluminum.
