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

    Got at least two & one of the screw on ones two- just (GASP!) ran across the wire brush a few weeks ago to clean off the rust- never know when you'll need to use it ;)

    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.

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

    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. :whistle:

    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?
