    Hello All. Thank you for your time. I was going to upgrade our 72 Buick skylark manual brakes to power brakes but unfortunately the donor car had a broken manifold fitting. The fitting is for a 350 manifold. It has an 1/8 male NPT in the manifold and then 90s to a 5/8 female metal tube fitting. I been to several hardware stores and a store specifically dealing with fittings and hydraulics with no success. Does any of you Buick people have the fitting I am talking of? This fitting seems to be Buick specific. Please let me know.

    Hi Bruno. I uploaded a few photos of what I am looking for. Of course without the broken part that threads into the manifold ;)

    The fittings came today. They are exactly what we were looking for and needed to change over to power brakes. Now we can stay seated when we try to stop this sled. Thanks Bruno.
