source for thermactor tube
Hi,
I've been looking for a source for a thermactor tube for my 90 inline 6 FI. Yes Ford has them along with the Ford price (>$200.00)
Anyone know of a source for thermactor tubes? I can get the ferrules and nuts from NAPA.
Thanks for any help.

rocks auto rocks!
Good quality part received from rock auto. even came with the nuts. ! thanks again for the tip. piece of advice for those installing a new thermactor tube... have a leather/rubber mallet handy. you need to keep beating down the pipe into the ferrules as you are tightening the nuts. also... tighten the nuts down as equally as possible. meaning.. two turns on #1 , then move to #2 and give it tow turns, then move to #3 etc... the pipe still like to "walk" up out of the nuts as you tighten. hitting it with a mallet works great until the compression fitting inside the nut starts to grab the pipe.

96' air injection same as 90'?
Do you think that the 90' inline six tube will fit the 96' inline six tube? I would figure that they would be the same but when i went to Rockauto.com the 96' didn't have air injection tube listed......
Thanks
Chris
