Call Ken Isodor. 203-260-9780. He is an old carb guy going out of business and selling off his inventory. He will answer all your questions and should have that fitting.

My glass bowl pump has 1/8" NPT threads. Maybe there are different kinds. If you are using a hose, google 5/16 x1/8" NPT hose barb for sources.

If you want to run a hose, use a short piece piece of the brake line and put the start of a double flare on the end to make sure the hose will not come off. The threads are straighr thread.

OMG!
So many different replies.
There is a fitting to go into your pump (straight thread with a gasket) that will accept the copper line to the carb which has compression fittings. Yes, copper line for easy bending to align for attachment. A rubber hose is not original.

hombres,
EDELMANN 842550 is what you need.....NAPA or O'Reillys can get them.
Speedway has one that is longer their # 916-11064
Stromberg and 94 style carbs use the same fitting.
Any questions get me at [email protected].

Be sure your hose is ethanol proof, don't be using a chunk you found
under the bench

The Ford fuel pump with the glass bowl for the fuel filter came in two versions. Early style has straight threads 1/2-20 with a seat for the fuel line ferrell. Later on there was a change to 1/8 NPT thread without a seat.
