The rear axle brass T fitting?

ya has t2 7/16" 1/4" lines on the sides and i think a 7/16-20 in the front going to the rubber hose end, looks like a bubble fitting on that end.

I went through a parts stores books, and found a suitable substitute.

THE NAPA guys acted like i just landed from mars and they didnt carry OLD vehicle stuff. and the orielys said about the same thing, so purchased a 80 chevy rear hose that has a built in T, its 3/16" tho. so i need to adapt the 3/16" to 7/16"(1/4" hardline) flare size.

or i could order that factory hose and that T you found if you got the part number. it seems the people get dumber and dumber at the part store, a new guy that was working there was pretty helpful tho, but i dont think home depot or lowes will have a bubble /flare T fitting, maybe just flare.

went to napa again, found som tube adapters! yea good to go for now.

[chestypuller]

Best to replace the fuel pump as well. The rubber diaphram will fail soon, from being stored dry.

[chestypuller]

ya good point! might as well they are cheap.

[chestypuller]

having a hard time finding a pump locally! anyone got some tricks? i could go electrical pump.

[chestypuller]
