Vacuum advance brass fitting help!

Pulling my fkn hair out trying to find a place that has a new brass fitting for this carb I just bought.

Holley 1904 carb swap. Everything fit just fine except the old vacuum advance brass fitting is 1/8 and the new carb is 3/16. Went to every part store in vegas trying to find one and no one has it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

 

Try the hardware stores.

 

Lowe's, Ace, Homeless Depot or a plumbing store will have one.

 

Lowes, autozone, o'reilly's, pep boys, napa....all places did not have the fitting I need...

I will try Ace today...So cal speed shop on Monday...or just call the carburetor place I bought it from and see if they have one..

Fkning frustrating shit...

 

Are you looking for a fitting that uses a brass ring under a male threaded nut? If so, those are VERY hard to find. Most everybody uses the fitting with a brass ring under a female threaded nut.

If you are looking for the kind of fitting I have described, you will need to look at a place that specializes in hydraulic fittings.

 

here is a pic of the brass fitting I'm looking for in 3/16. the one I have is a 1/8.

Maybe this will help you help me...

Thanks.

 

Go to a truck shop . The fittings for the roadranger shift knob are 3/16 with a nut and ferrel, it should work for you. They might be 1/4. Its been 10 yrs since I've worked on one.

Ace Hardware has those sliding clear plastic shelves with all kinds of brass fittings like you need. You have to look a little but they are generally there. Go to the plumbing dept .

They also have a hell of a good bolt dept with neat stuff like SS button head screws, etc.

The last place you look is only last because that's when you quit looking.
