hi_volt Posted Wednesday at 08:21 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 08:21 PM I've looked through a number of the threads here but so far haven't found a definitive answer. I'm trying to determine the thread pitch of the female receptacles on the carburetor and the vacuum advance canister on the distributor so that I can add fittings to accommodate a flexible vacuum hose. The distributor is an Autolite IAT-4101 and the carburetor is a Carter ball and ball DTC1. Any help would be appreciated. 🙂 Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted Wednesday at 08:30 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 08:30 PM I am thinking these older tubing gland nuts was 1/16 pipe thread.....you should be able to snag these locally from a hardware store, check in their tubing fittings usually in a plastic display case. Quote
Harley PHD Posted Wednesday at 11:33 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 11:33 PM My 1950 coronet uses the same fittings as the brake lines. Its solid metal line from distributor to carburetor. Quote
Los_Control Posted Wednesday at 11:49 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 11:49 PM Think it depends on which fitting we are talking about. The vacuum advance technically has 3 fittings and 3 different threads. The middle adapter I believe is NPT threads like @Plymouthy Adams suggest, then standard lines will thread to that .... the carburetor has the same adapter and believe a good hardware store would have them. 1 Quote
