Alright, Who Out Bid Me On The Eelco Elbows!

Now that's interesting! Back up a little first though. The original Eelco fuel elbows as used on the Cobra's Carter fuel pump have 1/8” NPT thread. I have one of those. The other two I have also have 1/8” NPT thread but the script faces the other direction, the same as the ones you bought. However, the ones you bought look to be flare fittings and larger than 1/8”. 3/8" flare maybe?
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but those won't even thread into the fuel pump.
They could be valuable for some other application though, I just don't know what it is. Maybe some searching around might yield some info. They're not what was used used on original Cobras but maybe some other car. I don't think I'd put them around my neck just yet! Maybe after some research!

Wow, strike 2 and 3! No problem - they were inexpensive. The education received was well worth the price of admission. Appreciated as always.

1/8" Male NPT X 3/8" hose for the 1962-63 221/260/289 Ford pump inlet.

Eelco® offered a family of die cast with their logo fittings based on a single die casting pattern. Raw castings could be machined for different sizes of tapered male pipe threads, straight male pipe threads, or inverted male flare inlet.

Shelby American used two sizes of Eelco male national pipe taper X 3/8" hose fittings. 1/8" MNPT for Cobra fuel pumps, 1/4" MNPT for a drain line in CSX2287 if memory serves, and the 1/4" in very late 427 Cobras for fuel pumps. At least one version of "other" has enough metal left to be reworked to an 1/8" MNPT inlet.
