Hi,
I think you're better off with that adapter nut on the choke housing. It doesn't need to be routinely removed which would lead to the gradual erosion of those pot metal threads, that has occurred in your case. Good Luck!

yeah it shouldnt matter if the nut is part of the thread or not. it will still plug in and work the same

OK, sounds good. I'll hit ebay in a sec and buy it.

live2shred303 - I just bought the air cleaner housing from you as well. I didn't see that you were selling that yesterday. . .sorry for the 2nd trip to the post office!

By any chance do you have the heat shroud tube that connects the manifold to the air cleaner?

live2shred303

no i don't have that tube. sorry

live2shred303

just use any old hose from an auto parts store

Pickles_99

That won't work. The hose is metal and mounted to a bracket that bolts to the maniford. Was trying to save a few bucks and not have to order new. Oh well.

Hi,
There is a point where you may have to just buy the right part. I'm a believer in fabrication, but, sometimes, due to the lack of a proper tool or skill set, one must bite the bullet. Now, this be stated, have you checked your local hardware store for the tube/pipe, sure it'll be copper, but, that shouldn't be a bother, your not going the concourse route. BTW, from the looks of the coupling on the choke housing, you'll need a compression furl and nut, as well. Take the housing with you.
Good Luck!
