Fuel Line Fitting

[gt350hr]

     There are plenty of radiators with brass fittings too. Agreed that "assembly line correct" trans fittings were steel. I have owned one or two 3259s with a steel fitting ( replaced) in them as they were rusty.

I believe countless Ford O.E. mechanical fuel pumps used this 87972-S Ford part in the 1950s and early 1960s. Looks to be the same as 1962-64 Fairlane parts. None of my used originals from fuel pumps have maker's logos and I don't remember a logo on the fitting in the carburetor on our black car's engine.

A "COBRA" induction kit was ordered and installed by his local 'Shelby dealer' on our black car by the second owner in the 1960s.


After a quick search of that number several vendors sell functional replacements at low cost but all the pictures I saw show parts with modern "EATON" name stamps on a flat.
