Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 72 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 72 | So my glass top fuel pump has the angles 1/8" holes, and I'm told its supposed to have two 45 degree brass adapters to fit my 1951 Chevy 3100. Does anyone know where to get those or what size they are?
Thanks! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 241 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 241 | I put one of those in my 50 3600 but just made the fuel lines bend accordingly. When you say 1/8" holes, I assume you mean 1/8NPT as mine are. 45 degree fittings should be available at any good hardware/industrial supply house or auto parts store.

I know they are 5/16 od on the line, but I'm not sure about that fitting on the end. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 72 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2014 Posts: 72 | Anyone have a clue where to get that 1/8 male to 5/16 female 45 degree fitting?
