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

[Bill Brueck]

If Greg doesn't have it, Chris, I'm pretty sure I have one.  It's the same
part number as the block to pipe fitting for the oil gauge line on an early
H and I think I remember finding a duplicate to the fitting in my brass
collection when I was putting that together.

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.
