Default Weatherhead fitting source.

I have used an early, (1970's), Weatherhead adapter fitting that works great
when you have a none stock fuel system in an early V8 Ford. Up until recently I was able to get them from the local NAPA store, but they ran out of old inventory, The fitting adapts the Ford 1/4" male compression type fitting to 1/8" pipe thread which provides more hookup options. Anyone know a source for these. The original Weatherhead # is 1513. See photos. Thank you.

Try Renner's Corner. I think item B-92288-FLA is what your looking for.

Take a look at a Gates # G49240-0204 fitting. It should be the same thing and is readily available from your NAPA store
