Thread Pitch of Fittings from Carburetor to Distributor Vacuum Advance Canister


Recommended Posts

Posted

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. 🙂

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.
