Need carb help! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a Q-jet carb with a leak. Where the gas line from the fuel pump connects to the carb is a banjo bolt type deal with the small filter inside. The leak is from the fact that I can't find any new 0-rings for it. The part store couldn't help me find any. I am hoping ya'll can.

Here's a couple of pics of what I need. You can't tell from the pics but the o-rings are square in cross section.

There is no reason a round ring will not work if you get the right thickness and diameter. I have seen alot of round o rings that are square after long use. Just make sure and use a neoprene ring that gas will not destroy. good luck John

I can't find any with a small enough diameter to work.

Have you tried a hardware store or NAPA?

You wouldn't happen to have a part # for them would you?

Just tried Napa and no luck there. Try the dealership on my way to work tomorrow.

Local dealership no help! Where can I find these?! I don't want my truck burning down becuz of two stupid o-rings.

Never mind!

It seems the hole in my carb was helicoiled and it decided to come out today.

Went and got a self-tapping fitting.......only
to find out it's just a little too big for the hole.

If I hadn't just rebuilt this carb it would be in the garbage right now!
