Thank Gene
I was looking at the end fittings. I could not find the Ford part
number but I did find a description.
Maybe someone on the List knows the Ford part number for this fitting.
The fitting are a Brass Fitting - Threaded Sleeve - Nut.
I have an OLD Weatherhead catalog - 3/16 tube - threaded sleeve nut -
6100X3.
A quick Google search will give you several sources - I saw one that showed
$.90 per part and I'm sure there are better prices.
I have a Parts + shop in my area that I think has those but not sure. They
had the 5/16 fuel line to carb fitting so I think they might carry the nut
too.
Hopefully someone local has them so you don't have to pay huge shipping
costs.

Subject: Re: [Tigers] Distributor vacuum line
Hi Ron,
Yes, full length measured absolute tip to tip. Original line, off the car
and retrieved from storage shelf for measurement.
BTW, any idea where one can get a fitting for the end that goes into the
canister on the original distributor? Pretty unique sealing tip on it. I
did not not want to cut it off the original line. I had my distributor
rebuilt and figured out a way to use a part of a compression coupler and a
hand bent short piece of same sized line to make a 90 degree elbow to hook
up a vacuum flexible line to my new carb. So I am good to go with what I
have, but have always been curious about that orginal line- to- distributor
hard line fitting.
