    PM GMC Bubba and see if Earl's Servi-Shop is still up and running (or find Meeko); they should be right by him in the Gasoline Alley area. vic

    I've got fittings to hook 2 lines together but I don't think I have any that have the bolt hole going thru them, banjo style, but I will look tomarrow when I get to my shop.

    I checked on that part,,,I dont have ..but at least you now have the correct part number...suggest you call Earls at 310-609-1602.sales dept and tell them of your situation..They might sell them to you direct or tell you a dealer who stocks that part # Hope This helps

    Tried that. They don't have any, and it would be three weeks for them to make any. We're looking at the Aeroquip number now, and I've found three.

    Looking into this. I have 2 of the Aeroquip and one Earl's. Holley has 2 of the Earl's on the shelf as well.

    The Aeroquip are all a deep red with a blue bolt. There is very little gloss to thises parts.

    The Earls is mostly blue... but the screw-on hose end sleeve is red. The finish is pretty glossy.

    I've been on hold with Eaton/Aeroquip corp for 20 minutes to try and find availablilty for ya. (let me tell you its like pulling teeth... I've been transfered 4 times so far) -they wont have any until the end of the month.

    Bill at Chicago Connection is a pretty good source for Earl's stuff. I can't get ahold of him though. I'll keep trying but here is his number:

    773-229-0655

    I checked with quite a few local shops... places I could get our delivery truck to pick up and bring back to me... so far nadda...

    Tried MAS for ya.... nothing...

    Keystone or another warehouse might have them.... but getting them from Aeroquip direct aint happening. They are 3 weeks out on them.

    I've about exhausted my speedshop search. I tracked down every one we sold over the last 4 years and they are all gone.

    I'll keep askin!
