They will just add it to your bill...



A duck walks into a drug store to buy some chapstick. He brings it up to the cashier who rings it up and says, "That'll be $1.50"...

The duck replies, "Just put it on my bill...." LOL!
 
Not a single parts store on town had one here either recently for a 340 I just did, so I ended up getting a 3/4" x 3" brass pipe nipple and making one in the lathe.

I work at carquest and can get it too as I just purchased one for my tunnel ram.
 
Must be nice to have a lathe...

Did you put a shoulder on the tip of the hose end? I have done some testing on hose joints, and a shoulder or barbed nipple have a much higher blow off pressure than just a piece of pipe. Always make sure that the clamp for the hose gets behind the shoulder/barb for best retention.

If you can't do that, then put on straight pipe and tighten the clamp as good as you can.
 
:eek:ops:

Sorry, the photos are on my FB page, most sites resize the photos when you link them.

Yes, I turned a small lip/reduced diameter for the hose clamp to get a good grip.

I really dont understand why the manifold mfg's dont include that fitting for what it would cost. I wasted time trying to find an auto parts store that had one, and it only took an $8 fitting and 15 minutes on the lathe to make it. And yes, having the right tool for the job makes things alot easier and results in a nicer finished product!

Because there were two different size nipples in the intakes. One for 69 and earlier, and another for 70 & later. They do not want to put both of them in the package to keep their costs down. They would rather let us worry/hassle and go find the right one ourselves.
