Does anyone know where i can get one of these brass fittings from? It is threaded into the top of the gas tank. I have looked and havent been able to find one. Thanks, DD

 

What's wrong with using that one? It looks like a standard pipe thread fitting. See how it's tapered? My local fleet farm has those, any local hardware store also should that has a plumbing section. You might need to use two fittings if they don't have a 90° one like that. It will be the hose barb part that screws into the base part. I have several in the shop from other projects.

 

I looked around at a couple the hardware stores locally and was unable to find one. The fitting is supposed to be t shaped. unfortunately it was broken during removal.

 

without sounding stupid, what is it

Well it may be too late for not sounding stupid but what is it anyway. I'll look for you.

 

I believe that is the vent for the charcoal canister, gas evap system.

T shaped, gotcha. There might be bases threaded on each side but I don't remember. You could screw in a hose barb fitting on each side then.

If you still have the part it could probably be welded back together. Brazing or even JB weld.

 

Try here the photo you posted I can't see

Now that I see a picture of it. Surely you can be creative and make one of those with something.

Also try a salvage yard.

And you may look in the parts section here, for someone parting out a vette. They usually have some.

 

Plug the broken side of fitting .
Put a T on the old rubber line to front , connect the hose that went to the broken piece on one side and run a short piece of hose to the fitting you have
