  Hello guys,
 
   Well, after 50+ years my factory soft fuel line gave out on me.  (amazing huh?)

  I am having problems finding the right fitting.  It is the soft line that is in between the fuel pump and the hard line that goes to the tank.

   Anyone have any sources for pre made ones or just the fittings themselves?

   THANK YOU!

NAPA sells a 10" fuel line that will work. It should be 8" but it is manageable if you retain and use the metal hose clamp that goes under one of the bolts that holds the A/C compressor to the A/C brace which is then attached to the engine. The exact brass fitting is no longer made (I tracked it all the way back to the manufacturer) but the one on the NAPA hose is as close as you can get. James Wagnon
