Crash Dummy

Has anyone heard of anything so ridiculous? Well... maybe not as I need a 1/2" NPT x 5/8" heater hose fitting(90 degree... that's the catch) and 2 out of 3 auto parts stores(NAPA, Autozone) opted out of supplying it even with their many catalogs for hard to find parts. O-Reillys will gladly get it to my local store with that $33.00 price tag. Everyone has straight fittings and I think Ecklers has a stock low profile 45 degree version, but I am shooting this over a dual feed gas line to the carb that makes that fit not possible. I can get 90 degree 3/4" heater hose fittings for almost nothing, but not 5/8". Summit & Jegs do not show it in their catalogs either.

Any suggestions? This is one of the last few things I have been holding out on hoping I could find it without paying a premium for something as simple sounding as that.

you could do what i did....plug em off, and don't use heater hoses... i know i'll be screwed in the winter :lol:

What about Russell or Earl's AN fittings? Do they have anything you can use?

That is funny! Not that you blocked them off... but, that I forgot about doing just that. I've got Russell aluminum plugs in two other places, so I guess a few more wouldn't hurt. It's not as if I ever plan on using the heater anyway. But, I've already got the new hoses run, so I will probably just buy the fitting(if it is the only choice) and go that route for now. I guess $33 in a $20,000 project is chicken feed, but at some time in these projects you have to wonder what turnip wagon you fell off of. :D

Got mine at Summit for $19. Made by Earls.
