Eldelbrock hose barb

[Vanderstel]

What part number is this hose barb? See the green arrow? I can't get the old one out of my old cast iron intake. I have the Edelbrock Performer, so I'm guessing the barb is the same.

Here is the Edelbrock item, or just go down to Lowes or your auto parts store and pick one up...

Heat it up from the inside with a propane torch a bit (not until it's red hot but very warm), and then rub an old stick / taper candle on the threads you can see. Continue heating and waxing while working it with a crescent wrench a little at a time. The wax will melt and run down the thread channel and eventually let the fitting come out.

Use never seize when you install fittings in anything aluminum. Dissimilar metals cause galling and will damage softer aluminum over time.

I checked two parts stores and neither had the size large enough. I went to Depot and they had a 3/4" barb, but it seemed too large. This is a tapered thread isn't it?

Maybe I'll go back to my old manifold and see if I can use some heat to get it out.

Ok, I got the old one out of the iron manifold and it is too small, hah! Back to Depot and I went to the section where they have galvanized pip fittings and boom!, the 3/4" fit, they have tapered threads, $2, done.

I would get brass, but hey, that is just me...

I was in a similar situation finding fittings for the water pump. Finally found what I needed at HD in the PEX fittings. They had brass pipe fittings with barbs there but not in the regular plumbing fittings section. They aren't regular tapered barbs but have some good grip if you get the proper size.
