They generally come with some 3/4" pipe nipples.

If you dont want inexpensive galvanized from the hardware store, check the AN type fittings (Earl's, Jegs, etc) pipe thread on one end and a hose nipple (or AN fitting) on the other. There is nothing really special about them.
Or check the Edlebrock catalog. |

I actually need a heater nipple for the #48s on my 69 Judge. Will these work/can I get the stock style?

E-Head nipples are threaded, OEM is a press fit. Still available from alot of the resto places. Check with PY.
