| Dear Gale,
 
Go to a good local hardware store or hobby shop to get the tubing to fit
into your fitting.  I believe that it is 1/16 inch tubing and you can get a
12 inch length of brass tubing to fit the connection.  The Fitting is a
compression fitting that is standard in the AC/heating equipment and you can
find that at a supply house for contactors.  If you have a problem, I have
both items that I have extra's from when I redid mine.

Subject: Manifold Drain-Intake
 
Hello to you all who have so graciously helped me on several questions in
the
past.
 
My BJ8 has a rear intake manifold drain which has had the tube removed by
previous owner due to interference with an exhaust header pipe.  The fitting
is still open and I think that it represents a fire hazard since it drops
raw
fuel on to the hot header pipe.  Do any of you have experience with
operation
after blocking the Drain pipe or pipes?
I will appreciate your comments.
