Fuel Inlet Fitting

The Edelbrock Fuel Inlet Fitting (model 1497) is a brass straight-adapter fuel line connector designed for carbureted applications requiring a secure transition between specific fuel line sizes. This fitting is ideal for hot rod builders, classic car restorers, and performance enthusiasts performing carburetor swaps or fuel system upgrades.

Constructed from durable brass, this fitting provides essential corrosion resistance in fuel applications where exposure to moisture and ethanol-blend gasoline is common. The straight configuration minimizes turbulence and pressure drop, ensuring consistent fuel delivery. The 5/8-18 male threads mate with standard fuel pump outlets and carburetor inlet bosses, while the 3/8 inch hose barb accommodates fuel line tubing with a tight, vibration-resistant fit when secured with a hose clamp.

This fitting is particularly suited for vehicles where OEM fuel lines don't align with aftermarket carburetors or where custom fuel delivery routing is required. Its design eliminates the need for multiple adapters, simplifying installation in tight engine bays or non-standard component spacing. Whether you're restoring a classic car or upgrading a performance vehicle, this fitting ensures a reliable connection for your fuel system.
