Fuel pump fitting

Hey guys,

Can I use this fitting on my stock mechanical fuel pump? Is it the correct size?

I need a fitting like this for the pump output to the carb.

Thanks

Re: Fuel pump fitting

IIRC the stock pump has an inverted flare fitting, not a NPT fitting. IDK what the right thread is though.

You're right, it is inverted flare. I found this thread: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/tech...ting-size.html

So would the fitting below be correct? I'm not close to the car so I can't try it out.
