This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

fuel line questions

Discussion in 'Street/strip 400/430/455' started by 455regalmike86, Jul 20, 2003.

  1. Hey guys I have a question. my fuel line is rubbing against the headers in my 455 regal. so I am gonna cut them before they come up in to the engine bay(right around the firewall) and I am gonan run steel braided to my carb and regulator. But I was curious what to use when I Am connecting the AN line to the hard steel fuel line. I was thinking flaring the tube and using an AN tube nut and sleeve. Is this right or am I needing something else?? n e help is appreciated for whoever can help me through this...thanks...Mike

    well...

    Not sure what your ultimate goal is but I know most of the AN fitting people make hardline adapters that just work like a compression fitting to the existing steel line.

    regards
     
  3. heard about them

    I have heard about them but most of them I have seen were for aluminum hard line .

    I used a Russell hard tube adapter on my steel 3/8" stock lines, worked fine, I was told it would work on steel and it did.
    Great for tight spaces, remember if you flare for a tube nut, its got to be 37 not 45 deg, 37 deg flare kits are not cheap.
     
  5. will try that

    well I guess I'll try the hard tube adapters. it said for aluminum but I guess I'll try that n e way. My bro in law has the whole tube flaring kit so I'm sure he'd take care of that but I;'ll try the hard adapter first. Thx
