today i was loosening my fuel line on my carter bbd when the fitting behind it broke. does anyone know where to get a new one. it has to have the right size inside hole for the rubber tipped needle to seat to cut off the fuel flow.

That's the fuel inlet seat. It comes in a carburetor rebuild kit.

thanks, i thought it might but none of the part stores around here have one to look at.

What do you mean, the parts stores don't have WHAT to look at? A carb, a rebuild kit or a inlet nut/needle&seat? That "nut" has come with every carb rebuild kit I have ever bought for a BBD. If they'd pull their PAPER catalogs, often these parts were listed as seperate part numbers, but unless your carb is very freshly rebuilt, youd be better to buy a kit and go thru it anyways.
