OUCH!! $33.00 heater hose block fitting
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.

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