Was going to put a new one in and stumped the Napa guys a bit. What's the connector at the front of the vehicle? (Where it mounts to the rubber line to the fuel pump). How do I get that fitting off?

Maybe flackmaster has a better idea on the prewars. 47Clipper replaced his line which had that type fitting and might have an answer -- if he sees this post before it disappears.
