Larry,

The fitting on the tank is made of unobtainium.  I think it's a  
Whitworth thread.  I don't think you will find one locally (this side  
of the pond).

Can you cut the metal line closer to the tank and reuse the fitting  
by making the hose to the pump longer?  This discovery could explain  
why the car was "stumbling".  It could have been sucking air thru the  
crack in the line (since it was on the suction side of the pump).

Maybe you can repair the line????  (JB Weld, solder, epoxy, etc???)

I'll look but I don't think I have a spare fitting ;(
