I believe that is a standard compression fitting for a 1/8" copper tube. Purchased at Home Depot, Lowes, etc.

I think I got these at NAPA but Roy Nacewicz sells the proper ones for the year needed,the difference being the sizeof the hex flat.You don't say what year but according to Roy 32-34 is 3/8 across the hex head ,35-38 is 7/16" and 39-41 is 1/2" across the flats. The tough part is the copper coated steel line,it is 3/16" tubing and if you need the later they require banjo type end,Mac's has these but I have been able to find NOS on Ebay time to time.

I have fittings,you will not find these at any box store or auto store. I just use a maybe 3" stub of a line and connect between them with W/W hose. that way you dont have to keep taking them in and out all the time. Possibly cross threading them at some point in time. Just disconnect the hose from 1 end and your good to go with whatever you were going to do. ken ct.

I bought those at napa a few years ago. They were in the Weatherhead/Eaton cabinet and were literally called a "ford nut"
