Thanks! I'll check in to that. A -6 ought to be enough for my stocker.

Those neat AN fittings for a 4GC are Fragola part number 491967 for the -8AN and 491950 for the -6AN--those carbs used a 5/8-20 thread pitch on the fuel inlet --FED 387

[Dave Muller]

Both Deano and my ruler say it's 7/8-20, not 5/8. But I've got several PNs from different manufacturers now.

[FED 387]

True but some of the carbs do have a 5/8-20 most are 7/8-20----- fittings for both sizes(5/8 or 7/8) in AN configuration are readily available you just have to look not really that difficult to find either------FED 387

5/8" is also Carter and Edelbrock AFB-AVS copies.
