[Fot] Fuel Line Fitting

[TRDOCTOR at aol.com]

The problem here was that it such a PITA to get the line off of the car to  
do anything with it.  This solution just happened to work.

I've  also found that on a fitting i cannot match up, I take the part to my 
 
local NAPA store here in Sonoma, Ca....and they spend the time finding  
something that fits/works...Maybe it's just this store, but these guys  
will 
spend 20 minutes, and then the piece ends up costing 4-5 bucks..( I  just 
had 
this experience with the oil feeder line on my Spitfire)
