I have a 7/8x18 Male to 14MM female adapter. I see OTC does not make this adapter.Does anyone know where to get a 7/8x18 Male to 18, 12 or 10MM female that I could use.

I'm pretty sure most all the Model A parts stores have the adaptor. Bert's, Bratton's, Snyder's, etc.

I just looked again the hose adapter is 14MM. how dumb I didn't figure that on out till now. Problem solved. Fortunately I only stated this project 2 couple of hours ago. Stumbling into luck overcame stupidity.
Thanks for the help.

I need a 7/8x18 male to 18mmx1.5 female adaptor, but I plan to make my own. Next time I go to town I'm going to get a couple of 18mmx1.5 nuts to make one. One nut to work on and one spare, "just in case".

Some inexpensive gauges have a tapered rubber that is BIG enough for a Model A.
I just remembered that I have a Diesel compression tester, with several adaptors, I "wonder" if one might fit??? I "think" I only used it once, on an old VW-Rabbit Diesel. About ALL I know about Diesel is that they STINK & CLATTER. Chief LOVED them, but he wuz kinda' WEIRD & FUNNY!
