Title: 4 Bolt Main Brass Oil Line Fitting $80
Post by: 69RALLYSPORTZ28 on August 16, 2020, 01:19:29 AM: Is a 4 Bolt Main Brass Oil Line Fitting bought from Weatherhead really worth $80 a piece.
Is this even the correct factory line manufacturer?

Modern version might have a different logo, so the Vintage Logo will be worth 79.88

I am just joking, I think they the parts are neat, but,,,,,,,,,,,,
