I am redoing a 50 f1, and there was no fitting on the bottom of the tank, only male threads. Is there a shut off, or a compression fitting supposed to be there. THANKS

On our '51 F-1 there is a "shut off" valve so you can stop the flow of fuel to the fuel pump.

See attached pic of the shutoff on my '51.

Part number for the valve is 7HC 9189 and the reducer bushing is 353107-S which reduces the opening from 1/8 pipe to 1/4 inch. You can get the reducer thru Napa or others. Antique auto, Arlington , Texas has 8 of the valves in stock.Call 1-817-275-2381 and ask for Stacey, super nice gentleman.

I guess that would be a "factory anti-theft device".

You can stop the flow but in my experience, if you mess with the valve too much then it will start to leak a little.
