Hi all again, 10-2-17-
This is the hold up--the fitting coming from the old fuel pump to the filter. I was trying to get this off peacefully, but it seems it's a no go.Wire brushed it ever day and rust buster- last try was even a mixture of tranny fluid & acetone soaking every day for 2 days. does not budge at all. ( Fitting is cleaner now than this picture was taken) The idea I have is leaving old fitting alone and cutting off close to old pump, put on a new fitting and flare the end. ( then i have to go buy this flare jig & or a compression repair kit to do it?) I would rather just get another fuel hose...but... - I searched online-> N/G - Could not find this part, the name , the number- unknown to me-so I have no part - What I thought would give me a problem removing parts, didn't and this fitting did.-Murphy's Law I guess-- Any suggestions how to proceed? Any solutions or substitutions? I'm sure it happened to somebody out there too.
Thx- 98TrackerMan
