Whats the Part # You are looking for?

  

In the case of the manifold brass fitting, I'll probably search ebay for it. Macs doesn't seem to have it. I found everything else I need from them. So far my total is just over $100 which will get me free shipping. If I spend as much time as I have so far searching for the parts, I should be able to find a good promo code too.

I paid no attention to the price. And that is for two according to the ILL.

Now they also sell the 56 fitting by itself for 32.35.

You gotta watch these guys.

NAPA should have it.

RESTO-MOD.

Now that booster finish is ugly.

Beauty is skin-deep but ugly goes to the bone...

This fitting(s) is for BIRD.

FORD is 354316-S

EDIT -

Notice NPD shows two different fittings under the same PN. One is 1956 and the other 1957. You have to know what you are looking for exactly as the vendor may have no idea or incorrect listing(s).

Basic PN 17597 is a vacuum source for the wiper motor without a two stage fuel pump. The fitting is also described under BASIC 17597.

All of this depends on the year (55-56-57) and what accessories were assembled on the vehicle (whether FORD or BIRD). Most info was deleted from cataloging. You would need period cataloging and most likely an ENGINE ASSEMBLY MANUAL to figure out each assembly detail.

Thanks that's good info

According to the CTCI Authenticity guide for TBirds, the booster was all black except for the screen, bleeder screw and various fittings.  I don't know if the sedans were the same.

Hello did any of the boosters come from ford all black or were they original finish with the aluminum polished and what appears to be anodized chambers. Most of what I have seen are all black , I assume they are rebuilt. 

Thanks Oldcarmark.
