Re: 8BA Distributor Vacumn line
When you put the fitting on the tube, does the tube extend beyond the end of the fitting? If it does not then the fitting will not pinch the tube when it is tightened.

51 Merc-ct, it does but won't tighten. I think its the wrong fitting, as it is different than the one that goes to the Carb. Does anyone sell the fittings?

It should look like the top pic.
I have in the past fixed one by using a brake line fitting plus a ferrule as in lower pic.

Re: 8BA Distributor Vacumn line
How do threads on fitting look? Make sure you are not cross threading the fitting. These require a bit of finesse to get them started correctly as the line wants to pull them sideways.

Re: 8BA Distributor Vacumn line
I had the same problem. I started the fitting but just before I started to feel resistance I pushed the line in as far as I could and then tightened. Works fine.

Hi to all , thanks for all the info. I was able to get the weatherhead fitting at Napa. It is tight once again. Ray
