Packard Forum Index » V-8 (1955-56)

Can anyone show me the correct Carter and Rochester carburetor inlet fittings and what is used to connect them to the stock filter? On my 1956 Clipper, the filter has 1/8 NPT but I didn’t pay attention to the carburetor side so looking online I see only Rochester carburetors for 1956 Packard which show the fitting in the carburetor having a 5/16 flare. The only photo I can find of my Clipper’s connector is not too clear but it appears that the 1/8 NPT is threaded directly into the carburetor.
