Went to a small local swap meet today.
Some x-frames were present! Some rust (63 Impala 409 car). Some nice customs too (60 BelAir with a chopped top!). A real nice red 62 Impala (wrong engine - big block). An original looking 59 w/348. A few more scattered about.
348-409 parts were rare, intakes mostly.
On a dual 4 intake/carb setup that had been restored ($1600
) there was a fuel line fitting that I asked the owners about. They knew nothing due to it was sold to them that way. Anyway, the special 1/8th npt fitting for the front carb was not original, and would cost points if judged. But it is a direct steel replacement fitting for the super rare cast fitting and WAY better looking than some of brass nightmares I seen.
Sorry.......I stupidly walked out of the house without the camera. But even going was a last minute decision for me.
So, there is a fitting out there somewhere. We'll keep looking.
I was wearing my www.348-409.com cap and did invite a few guys.
