Thank Gene 

I was looking at the end fittings. I could not find the Ford part number but I 
did find a description. 
Maybe someone on the List knows the Ford part number for this fitting. 

The fitting are a Brass Fitting - Threaded Sleeve - Nut. 

I have an OLD Weatherhead catalog - 3/16 tube - threaded sleeve nut - 6100X3. 

A quick Google search will give you several sources - I saw one that showed 
$.90 per part and I'm sure there are better prices. 

I have a Parts + shop in my area that I think has those but not sure. They had 
the 5/16 fuel line to carb fitting so I think they might carry the nut too. 

Hopefully someone local has them so you don't have to pay huge shipping costs.

Hi Ron, 


Yes, full length measured absolute tip to tip. Original line, off the car and 
retrieved from storage shelf for measurement. 


BTW, any idea where one can get a fitting for the end that goes into the 
canister on the original distributor? Pretty unique sealing tip on it. I did 
not not want to cut it off the original line. I had my distributor rebuilt and 
figured out a way to use a part of a compression coupler and a hand bent short 
piece of same sized line to make a 90 degree elbow to hook up a vacuum flexible 
line to my new carb. So I am good to go with what I have, but have always been 
curious about that orginal line- to- distributor hard line fitting.
