Fuel Line at Carb.
My 48 with a 94 Carb has an elec. pump so prev.owner put the reg. right on the Carb. My question is there a special fitting to buy for the carb for the ferrel ,steel line ..OR does it hook directly to carb.I'm putting a stock pump back on...Thanks ahead of time...Carl

Re: Fuel Line at Carb.
The threads in the carb are 1/2x20 straight.Any fitting you install on carb has to have a fitting with that size thread and have a beveld nose on it. Regulators usually have pipe thread either 1/8 PT or 1/4 PT neither are compatible with the ford thread.ken ct. What thread is in the regulator?? ken ct.

Re: Fuel Line at Carb.
The 94 carb has 1/2- 20 threads. In beyond the treads is a seatube t for the furrel and is counter bored for the 1/4" OD tube to enter for about 3/16" beyond the furrel. I usually set the furrel in another fitting before screwing the gas line fitting into the carb. The furrel needs to be squeezed good to compress it on the 1/4"tube and it is possible to damage the threads if the carb is used to compress the furell. G.M.

Re: Fuel Line at Carb.
George,
That is good advice. Many carb threads are stripped by trying to tighten/squeeze the ferrule on the line to stop a leak. John |

Re: Fuel Line at Carb.
Thats My question...The parts Guy at C&G says it screws direct into carb....Its been 18year since i had a flathead and I thought I remembered a fitting that I had to hold on the carb. when I took the line off...Carl

Re: Fuel Line at Carb.
Thanks G.M.......I think I'm going to like the car without the elec. fuelpump ,,,and more like Henry built it...If it doesn't work out I'll find a quiet one to hide up in the frame rails....The one I'm taking off sounds like a "Pony Motor" running in the rear fender well....Thanks everybody,Carl
