My '69 BGT has a threaded fitting on the end of the steel fuel
line. On general principle, Onto this is attached a fitting with about
3 inches of (1/4"?) braided line. I'd like to replace it with
something that is known to be less than 30 years old. Since I can't
feasibly remove the steel line from the car, I removed the oddment and
brought it to the hardware store, and the parts store. I can find
pieces that fit onto the (female threaded) oddment, and based on
those, get an adapter that is female threaded on one end and a
"nipple" on the other.
The problem is that the oddment will fit both onto these 5/16" flare
threads and the fuel line, but the 5/16" female flare threads don't
thread onto the fuel line.
What is the thread of the fuel line?
