So as some of you probably know i threw my timing belt. Well since you hafta drain the radiator anyways i decided to pull it for more clearence. While doing this i accidently twisted and pinched off one of the trans. lines no big deal right just go get a new fitting from Autozone, cut and re-flare it. Well apparently no one else has this problem since no one friggin carries it. Even the ford dealer said they can't get it. What the hell its an easy to crush brass fitting on something that used to be a fleet truck how the hell is this impossible to find. So this afternoon job has now spread to day 4 and i am on my way to a junkyard to hopefully salvage something I can use. If some one has one lieing around I would greatly appreciate it. I'm in 60448

Did you check with a Radiator shop?

Most auto parts carry brake and fuel lines of different lengths. If they don't have the fitting, buy the line and cut the fitting off.

Hardware store in the heating/cooling dept.

Plumbing supply.

Alternate repair: buy a hose barb and connect the line back with a hose and clamps. That will get you by for a while.shady

get a brass fuel line fitting, and a piece of rubber tranns line from the store, and flare the tube you have left and hook the hoses to it problem solved.

look sort like this
