The Official "What The Heck Is This?" Thread

Weatherhead fitting. I have a set of sockets that fit all sizes.

 

The inverted flare in the female end fits standard brake lines. Easy-peasy.

 

So...... it's called an Inverted Flare elbow. The male end is 1/8" NPT . The female inverted flare, comes in 3) sizes : 3/16" , 1/4 " , & 5/16"......all Inverted Flare Thread. Carryon ya'all. ( Update : He PM'd me & said he was goin' to HD , today, & would let me know ))

 

They come in larger sizes. But I had to buy a bag of ten to get the single one I needed.

 

I'm sure we all know what it is but how many of us have one left in the shop? Not many left now a days. Found in my shop tday.

 

Used to always be part of the "service" at a Service Station.

 

Still have it and a mini one for other fluids, A funnel type spout that took a can and even some of the old mason jar types

 

Hello Art,
I certainty Do not have to remind you to hang on to these, Sir...... Gett'n very rare.

 

I have a Mini can puncher, along with all of the other ones still in my Archives, don't remember ever using or it?

 

and it goes with

 

What did you do with the open half full containers?

 

I ain't got one of them Ron

 

Have had them 35 years + so never know when I might have to use one if I get in a pinch and have to use one of cans of Valvoline, GM Top Engine Clearer or GM Posi Oil some day...probably a few other cans around too.

Can't say I ever not used a full can back in the day, but I would always leave the spout in the last can to drain back so it was somewhat sealed...The mini spout actually had a cap.

 

Hi I haven't had my jeep very long and haven't had time to get familiar with it was looking around in the engine bay and can across this tag that wired to the firewall what was it for?

 

That’s a identification tag, and your Jeep is a Tuxedo Park with the Dauntless v6.

 

Never saw one of those before.

 

I imagine it helped with inventory and assembly at the factory.

My 1956 has "56" written by hand on the firewall.

 

PIF Update :
tripilio says he can not locate one, around his area. Pm'd me today that the size is : " My fitting is a 1/8 pipe (0.40) by 1/4 female (0.39). "

It's in the mail in the Morni'n.

 

bought an old rolling chassis for 50 bucks but no title. Looking at it, I am guessing a 70 or 71. PO didn't know. It has the flanged 44, 4 cyl, T90. It has the draw bar brackets for a rear tank leading me to a 71. Anyhow, what is the small sheet metal piece behind the rear drivers side tire?
