fuel line fitting help
Hi, everybody!
This is probably going to sound really dumb to anybody who knows, but I am looking for a part and can't find it, so here goes nothing. I am designing a fuel line for my 'vette, and I need a brass tee, 5/8" x 18, female. Same thing as the two tees on a tri-power setup, if they are 5/8" x 18. I have spent the last hour trying to find a site on the internet where I can order one, but none are to be found. It's weird. Maybe chevy used them all up back in the '60s on the tri-power cars, and nobody ever bothered to make any more of them. Anyway, does anybody know where I can get one? This is ridiculous!!!!
Keep the shiny side up!

A group called SAE got together and standardized a bunch of things. too bad it wasn't everything.
, but they are still trying.
But most of this stuff from different manufacturers will fit together.
It's similar to oil filters, they don't tell you the size of thread, micron filtration, burst pressure etc, but if you look up a cross reference, it will work.
Save this catalog. Look at page 31
Once you get this number, all others will cross to it.

I went down to my local NAPA today, and they looked me like I had two heads. They had a block that looked wxactly like what I need, but it was a pipe thread fitting. I thought something like this would be easy to find, but I guess not. Noonie, I'll check out that catalog, thaks for the heads-up.
