Does anyone know if the fuel lines to the tanks would have a 110 degree or 90 degree flair at the fitting? Thanks.
 
Sorry, I go those wrong numbers from someone else. It’s either 45 or 37. According to Dan Torrey, the older planes used 45 degrees. Of course, a visual inspection is the only way to really know what each fitting is. My problem is solved.
 
ATTENTION:
The plumbing on the 14-13 is full of "AC" fittings. Most modern hardware is "AN." They can be compatible at times....not always. "B" nuts can bottom on threads without cones and flares mating. Leading to leaks of fuel or air. I know of one 14-13 and one 14-9 brought down due this issue. Test each connection!

Jarod, Just got done going through all of that on this old bird, found a bunch of miss matches, I am glad that I am going through every inch of this plane, what some people signed off I would never put in the air, my life is to valuable!
