Carter Fuel pump fittings

This seems like a great example of why EVERYBODY who fiddles with these cars should learn and obtain some basic knowledge of common, standard, "old school" US fittings. Pipe, inverted flare, SAE flare, JIC/AN flare, and be aware of "on the lookout" for getting metric various types slipped in there unawares.

Inverted flare is traditional fuel lines/ brake lines. They should never need sealer on the actual inverted flare. The end of an adapter which screws into a Carter pump is often pipe, which has no bottom seat, and DOES require appropriate sealer. But that can start an argument. I've used a LOT of different sealers, including liquid pipe dope, teflon tape, RTV and maybe a couple other things.

If you do and internet search you can easily find charts/ catalogs by manufacturers that show the thread sizes and types of fittings...............
