[AJD] Re: fuel line technique...INFO

[Chris C]

Greg,

      Do you have the fitting that goes from the
carb/fuel sediment bowl to the gland nut?  I stopped
in to torment ly local parts guy with one today and of
course they can't figure it out.  Part number is A258R
according to my A book.

                          Chris
