39 fuel tank fitting
Hi where can I get the compression fitting (nut / ferrel) that attaches steel line to tank?
Tried: Ace, auto zone, napa, and plumbing supply.

Try some of the V-8 Parts vendors. C and G, Sacramento Vintage Ford, Joe's Antique Auto, etc.

Re: 39 fuel tank fitting
Hey Andy...I find it hard to believe you can't find that stuff at a decent parts house in New Joizy. The little kids behind the cash registers at Auto Zone ain't gonna have a clue about fittings. They only know about speakers and floor mats and mud flaps. I would think that any decent NAPA store with some OLD guy running the joint ought to have an "IMPERIAL Fittings" cabinet with all sorts of brass fittings, compression fittings and ferrules, among others. Click the link below to show the broad array of stuff that Imperial offers. When you get to their site, type-in "ferrule" for instance. My God, you ought to be able to find a ferrule almost anywhere besides McDonalds. Good luck...DD

Re: 39 fuel tank fitting
I have found that "Ford Nuts" (unique male compression fittings) are not generally available, although regular ferules will work. The last time I changed a fuel pump, I had to use a regular pipe thread to flare fitting that took a female flare nut.
