I don't know the terms to use when buying fuel line fittings for my '54 3100 235 Rochester B. Will you please help me with the terms and also suggest a good source? I checked the
Fastenal site - made my head swim, 'cause I don't know what to search for.
I need the brass fitting that goes into the fuel pump, into which the brass fitting on the fuel line attaches. GM #137406 "Connector" in the
'47-'54 Assembly Manual.I also need the "60 degree elbow" (labeled "C"), the "Sleeve tube connector", and possibly the "threaded sleeve" needed to attach the accessory fuel filter to the carburetor as shown in the
1951 Accessories Installation Manual.The instructions for installing the filter in the 1954 Installation Manual state:
"
2. Cut 1-1/4 inches from gasoline line as shown in figure[51]"
"4. Install 60 degree elbow with short end into carburetor as whown in figure [51], an mount gasoline filter."
"5. Rebend gasoline line, install sleeve and insert end of gasoline line to full depth of sleeve and tighten securely to prevent gasoline leaks.">> EDIT -
The '54 Installation Manual sez "It is necessary to use an adapter kit part number 986621 for truck installation." The adapter kit is the second photo on
this page.>> EDIT #2
The 60deg fitting GM part number is 3693886 ... from the 1954 Master Parts Manual. The adapter kit is also listed in the MPM.
I have an "ACDelco" fuel filter on order from
Eckler's Early Chevy.I have steel fuel and vacuum advance lines on order from Chevs of the 40's.
Thanks for your help,
