Subject:quick question: my plastic firewall fitting is made of metal?
From:Wesley Pegden

Hi guys,
I'm finishing up my fuel line job right now that I finally got around
to.  I've read about the plastic firewall fitting that people usually
have a problem with: on the fuel intake line that runs under the air
distributor stuff to the T-connection, and connects on the other side to
a short hose and then the plastic tubing.  I've just removed this
fitting, just to discover that mine is in fact metal.  Anybody heard of
a metal replacement for these before?  The clamps on the connecting
hoses (and ONLY these hoses) were screw-type clamps, so it seems like
maybe this was replaced at some point?  Should I keep my metal fitting
or get rid of it?

Thanks for any advice,
Wes
