Hey all - this fitting was in the carburetor before I rebuilt it. It's the fitting that the spark control pipe connects to at the carburetor. Trying to figure out what type of tube end/fitting connects to this. Maybe a compression fitting over a bubble flare? Any help is appreciated!
The end of the fitting you're showing is a 1/8" pipe thread, probably the end that screws into the carburetor. Turn it over and take another picture- - - -it's probably a 3/16" tubing compression fitting. which is the standard size for vacuum advance lines. Jerry

Thx Jerry! The end with the gasket is the one that fits into the carburetor which is why I'm a bit stumped. I'm not worried about the thread size, just caught a bit off guard because of the flat face and smaller diameter hole in the end shown (which is the tube end).
Hmmmm- - - -that is an oddball fitting- - - -never seen one exactly like it! The small hole won't be a problem, as there is very little volume of flow to operate the vacuum advance. I'd be tempted to replace the fitting with one that has a 3/16" inverted flare female thread toward the distributor, and a 1/8" NPT male thread into the carburetor. Jerry
