You may purchase sheets of reinforced rubber in varying thickness. I found some on eBay. However, I suspect it would have some flex to it that would not be desirable in this application.
Can not one fab the needed plate out of plywood?

I believe the Production Orders for Oldsmobile are available from GM Heritage Center which will confirm if there are any deviations on it.

Production Order? Is that akin to a build sheet? What info is on a Prod. Order? How were they used by the factory? Have a pic of one?
If such critters are available from GM Heritage, the availability has been a well kept secret.

I read your Paint Code as "H". That color is Dresden Blue
I find no info on the site for a Trim Code of 28? The trim match for Dresden Blue would be Trim Code 323
Trim 323
Carpet: Blue with rubber inserts
Instrument Panel: Medium Blue and Ivory

Maybe Keiser31' clock fits Brad's mirror, and vice versa?

You gotta love those chrome mudflaps?

I do like the stance of the ride in the top picture. She looks as though she is revved up and waiting for the Xmas Tree light to go green!

And finally, any suggestions for material to use to repair small tears in the rubber wheel well wall?
Those "walls" are known as splash shields and should be readily available from any number of suppliers.

I have seen having an incorrect gas cap (non-vented vs. vented) create the circumstances described in the OP.

Given that Kaiser-Frazier was no longer in business in 1975, why would it have a calendar for that year?

For that casting number I found this ==> http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-bin/pub9990262549620.cgi?fullimageflag=1&imagenumber=1&itemid=9990378649894&categoryid=9970399476565
which says the engine is a Gen 1 Small Block 330 V8 1st Run 1964-1966

Per Google, here is the scoop on this pic ==> https://www.velocetoday.com/this-week-of-interest-53/

Congrats! ?

Cannot explain why, but the part in question speaks 40s-50's era Oldsmobile to me; certainly GM.

The thread is OK as I tried another fitting. The line is just resting and the other end is not attached to the rear of the carb so I can better align the fitting. It just seems the fitting is slightly too big. The pipe just touches the opening preventing the fitting to screw in. As suggested maybe a M/FM is the answer? Trying to find a picture on the internet of the pump on the car to see if there is another adapter fitting. We have no other lines so assuming we have the right one.
Thanks for the help.

If the pipe is in actuality preventing the fitting to thread, that would tell me the line is too big in diameter, -OR- more likely,
has the flare been banged up/munged to prevent it from seating?
You should be able to slide the fitting back on the fuel line and fully seat the flared end into the fuel pump orifice. Once that is done slilde the fitting back in place and start the threads.
You state the carb end is not attached. Is it able to be threaded without difficulty?
Do both the tube and fitting on the carb end look to be the same size as those on the pump end?
Is it possible, solely for testing purposes, to remove the line completely and screw the carb end into the fuel pump?
-
Assuming the threads in the pump are good the line should work, once properly aligned. Alternatively, one could install a M/FM adapter fitting in the pump to serve as an extension?
