WANTED: bypass hose fitting for edelbrock intake manifold

[Judge Mills]

I thought I read in other threads that the fitting was supposed to be 3/4" .. found one from jegs (15 bucks! yikes!) and it doesn't fit... I'm assuming it's 5/8"... I don't want to buy a mopar one because they are 30 flippin' dollars!

anyone have an old one laying around their garage?

Besides the Mopar performance dealer or Jegs/Summit racing outfits, try your local Hardware store for a pipe fitting and give it alot of anti seize.

I was thinking about doing that... I was just worried about not having a lip.. Anti Seize.... didn't think of that! I'll probably just go that route. Thanks!

The "Lip" would be helpful in stoping leaks and such, however a good tight seal will stop any ill's.

You can use a 3/4 x3/4 brass mip x barbed fitting that you can get from any ace hardware for around 10 bucks. Brass reduces the need for anti seize sealer and will not electrolize like alum or zinc.

The 3/4" fitting I bought for Jegs worked.... the threads were REALLY hard in the intake manifold, though.. sort of weird.. but i got it in...
