Randy-Not for me, as there is one on 071 but, for the sake of posterity, can you share any information that would identify this part?  If not a part number, perhaps you could determine the external thread that goes into the carb and the internal thread that receives the fuel line fitting?

  The male end is 1/8th pipe thread( tapered) the other takes a 5/16ths flared tube end. It is actually a common fitting .

+1. I actually bought at a hardware store, to add to Randy's comments the internal thread that receives the fuel line fitting is 1/2"-20.

To add- the original ones many times had the metal stamp of the " W" mfg trademark for Weatherhead .

My "lightbulb" just switched "on".  If I'm not mistaken, the same fittings are used in the lower tanks of radiators for C-4's to accept the cooling lines.

The fitting that is used in the carburetor is probably brass (?) whereas the fittings that are installed in the radiator (from the factory) are steel-you know, the rusty ones.

The transmission cooler fittings that I was referring to are on a "66 radiator which look EXACTLY like the pictured fitting. The factory fittings that I have in my radiator are steel (or extremely magnetic brass).

OldGuy is right.  They look the same but the radiator ones are steel.  The radiator tanks are brass but the fittings are steel. Hmmmmm.

[Bob Gaines]

Ahh haa ,yes they should be brass. Oh well the hardware store is easy too.
