Title: Vacuum line Tee fitting
Post by: Corey Bowcutt on July 20, 2020, 04:05:27 PM
There is a Tee fitting between the distributor vacuum advance, thermostat vacuum tree and the intake vacuum tree.  Does anyone have a source of these fittings and any pictures of it?  Or if anyone has a spare laying around let me know.

Thank you,

Corey

The modern day equivalents end up being too white white compared to the assemblyline which were less. Think of a new washer bottle plastic and compare it to a more yellowed older one . The same thing happened to the tees. You can find similar at auto parts store but have to modify the design. The new improved versions have strengthening gussets made into them . You have to cut that back off to make it look like assemblyline. The best place to find one is on a vintage car. West Coast Cougar most likely has some. They are some good people . Cougars to the rescue. Again .  :)
