Mercury 65hp 1973 outboard motor, fuel fitting question

[6and1ontheway]

Hello forum. I have just recently received a boat that was my grandfathers. It has a 65hp mercury 1973 3 cylinder outboard and is on a 1967 starcraft Bahamas boat. Its not a beauty, but it was my paps so I would like to use it. It did not have a fuel tank so I bought a new one and cannot figure out which fitting I have to connect it from the motor to the tank. Here is the picture of the fitting on the fuel line. Any info would be appreciated as I am kind of new to the boating world.

Standard old style Mercury fitting, should be able to find the fitting just about anywhere, I know Walmart and C abelas carry them, cause I just bought one at Walmart Yesterday, you can also get them here on Iboats in their store as a forum member I believe you get a discount and they have a lot of stuff on sale this summer.

Here let me look that up for you:
