JIC isn’t period correct, if that wasn’t a concern, I would have gone AN….. that’s what I did on my Jeep with three DCOE’s
I do have a few thread gauges, just haven’t pulled them out for this.
I’m now seeing that a number of sources are saying that the 5/16 flare fitting is indeed 1/2 20…. There must be something with the carb I have, I...

I understand that yours fits. Mine do not. Mine are all 5/16 45 degree flares as purchased from Lowe’s, Amazon and Ace hardware. I just happened...
I’ll get a picture later today, yes they look very similar
That’s been my problem all along! I love the look of the copper lines but I really want the fittings to be consistent, to the point where I’ve...
5/16 flare… as per Strombergs site the regular 97 needs 1/4, the big 97, 5/16 so… I picked up some 5/16 to go from the mechanical pump to the...
That’s the frustrating point about this whole thing, the 5/16 flares that I have will not thread into the carb.
Thanks again, I’d tried a 5/16 as shown, it doesn’t fit [ATTACH]it’s really close but just large enough and it must be like 18 instead of 20… the...
Thanks but that’s a number -6AN - need 1/4 45 degree flare to 1/2 20 (ford or stromberg).
That one’s so close, not sure about the 5/16 thread on the carb side, all of my research says it’s 1/2 20….tried a 5/16, wouldn’t thread into the...
If I only had a lathe and the knowledge on how to use it… there’s plenty of material in a couple of the fittings I have to turn them down, just...
Looking at McMaster-Carr… great listings, thanks! Same problem I’ve found everywhere else, the 1/4 45degree flare is pretty common, the 1/2 20 end...
[ATTACH] I guess I should have mentioned that the fittings are brass for copper tube, I have a number of the flare nuts as pictured, I need two of...
I’m having trouble finding brass fittings to finish the plumbing for copper fuel lines for my flathead, I just need two 1/4 flare to ford nut (1/2...
Thanks so much! That’s my Jeep for sure! Don’t remember him sitting there with Ed but that’s my Jeep!
Btt
Cool guy, only ever seen the one car in person, the first one…. O’Bannon’s saw it, fell in love with it then, helped him roll it up on the trailer...
No interest?
Been a week and no responses.... let's try another week...
[ATTACH] This was my dad's toy (one of many), It's in upstate N.Y. In my hometown (Spencer) I live in Florida and don't have space for it. It's a...
Thanks Mike! That's what I was thinking too!
To go along with the same question, was there a pitman that allowed itself to be flipped easily? I'm got a 41 pickup box that I'll be using....
Does anyone on here happen to have pictures of Ed striping a red Jeep at the Canadian street rod Nats in Kitchner Ontario, it was the 3rd of July...
