Thread size on input of fuel pump

[hoofchaz]

The flex line from the frame to the fuel pump on my '53 Cranbrook is leaking at one end. I am going to use a piece of hose and clamps to replace it. Can anyone tell me what the threads are on the inlet side of the fuel pump so I can buy a hose barb to thread in?

Thanks,

CHAZ

I vaguely recollect 1/8" pipe thread. But please don't get too mad if I am wrong...

Chaz.....do you happen to have an extra pump??

If so, take it to the auto store -- they will probably have what you need.

Or call a store and tell them what you want.....they can likely help if they

have any experience in the business.

Just remove the steel line from the pump to the carb. and measure that fitting. It's the same on both sides of the pump.

It is definitely 1/8" pipe thread.

If you want to be a real cheapskate, cut the crimped metal clamps off the hose ends, toss the leaking hose, and you'll have your barbed fitting.

Guess how I know.....

Thanks! If I let the car sit more than a day or two I have to jack up the rear end to get fuel back into the lines to start it up. That gets old quick!
