JIC isn’t period correct, if that wasn’t a concern, I would have gone AN….. that’s what I did on my Jeep with three DCOE’s
I do have a few thread gauges, just haven’t pulled them out for this.
I’m now seeing that a number of sources are saying that the 5/16 flare fitting is indeed 1/2 20…. There must be something with the carb I have, I...
