Frank,
You could buy the kit from BCS--it's not too expensive. Worth it for
the instructions and explanation that comes with it. Also comes with a
gasket for sealing the dipstick tube and the manifold fitting. You also
want to seal the vent hole in the oil filler cap--I used a small machine
screw with a nylon washer so it's reversible.
OTOH, it's a common part--Type 1 IIRC--that you can get at any parts
store (you want the metal 'inline' configuration). It's been a while
since I installed the BCS kit, but I believe the barbed hose fitting
that came with the kit for the manifold was the wrong thread and I ended
up tapping my manifold, which I regret. Found out later there is a
'fuel type' thread fitting that might have worked without tapping that I
saw at an AutoZone.
Either way, you'll have to match up the different hose/valve IDs and ODs.
