I am looking for the brass fitting that threads into the side of the block in back of the last lifter, the metal tube that runs up to the rocker shaft assembly connects to this brass fitting. It has a 1/8-27 taper pipe tap thread on the end that goes into the block and a 3/8-24 flared tube type thread on the end that the metal tube threads onto. These is a hole approximately .062 in diameter in the pipe tap end than makes the fitting different from one that you could buy in the store. The 1950 parts book that I have lists it as part number 839926 fitting all the 235 engines from 1942-50, I think it possible might work on 1951-52 also as these engines used the same type of oiling system for the rockers. Does anybody have one for sale or know where I could look for one?

Gary, You have the correct part # but an incorrect list of egines that used this restrictive fitting.
It was used on 1950-1953 235 engines and 1954-1957 6 Cyl. engines. Also was used on late 1942 and early 1946 engines that did not have the oil line passing through the water jacket.Perhaps you could find a used junk engine . Also you could purchase a new fitting and fill the opening with solder and then drill it out to your size.
Good Luck

Gary,
Try Old Car Parts in Portland, OR..I bought the tube and fittings from them. You can google them.
