Bought a used burner and I am not sure if the connector shown below is intended for LP or natural gas? It is different from my other LP connectors so I don't know if this was modified for NG.
That's the old Prestolite fitting for LP. You'll have to replace it with the new style fitting, probably available where grills and accessories are sold.
So do you think I can just try to switch out the connector at the end or get a new regulator with hose and connector?
Can you post a picture of your tank fitting?
Did you try turning it to the left? The propane tank has left hand threads and won't sync up if you are turning to the right.

I tired turning to the right and the left but the diameters just don't match up right. I only paid $15 for this (plus the turkey fryer pot and basket). I think a trip to Menards or Lowes will be in order later this week.
If you want to give up that's fine, buy I'm guessing you are not holding the threaded piece in far enough. The tank valve doesn't have threads in the first 1/4 inch or so. The part with the threads slides on the other part. Slide it all the way to the end, push it into the tank valve and thread to the left. It can be a pain until you figure it out
