Fittings Fittings Fittings
Hi Bob
When I reassembled the 216 for the HUP with the replacement head the new head did not have the large diameter tap for the steam relief valve and the temperature sensor, so I ran into the problem you described of getting a leak free connection. I did find a solution for this problem with modern brass fittings, only problem is I can't find my notes or pictures of the parts. So next time I have the engine cover off the HUP I'll take a couple of pictures of the fittings and then I think I can match them to Weatherhead parts numbers. But it solved the problem of the CMP sender not fitting the new new brass adapters.
I need one of those step down adapters you described getting with the gauge the fitting alone was $14 while the gauge with fittings was $15 so I have an extra, cheep gauge on the shelf.
Will try and figure out the parts numbers for the 194?s GMC that matches and post it when I do.
Cheers Phil
