Default Re: Big block brass oil line fitting Repro vs Original

I have several real ones in my inventory and not a one has that ring as shown in the first photos. Not sure why the same supplier would change that but mine are definitely different. (original on the left and unmodified repop on the right)

Then I guess you nailed it. My original was missing, so I was going off that first pic. Do you sell yours? If not, you should. They look great.
This is all that's really left of my oil line set up besides the valve cover bracket. I need the brass fitting and through the firewall to my console, so I'll probably have to go a/m unless I can find one.
