frustrated with fuel lines
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ok, so my rubber lines connecting stainless hard lines on the car to the hard lines on the engine have gotten destroyed by my tire (last year). It was clamped back over the hard line end...and it's not acceptable fix since I've already had it leak once.
....so....
I plan to have the tube cut and flared to an AN 06 fitting - easy right?
well, no; because the rails at the base of the engine are ford male connectors....and I bought a russel line that only fits the female end on the fuel rail.
so.....I could eliminate the mid/side rail going up the side of the engine (since no one makes a ford female, only the male version is available believe it or not) so..I can run the braided fuel line up from the bottom to the fuel rail itself eliminating the need to use female ford connectors.
so now I need to get braided line longer than the one I have.
but the only ones I want are the jegs 350 hose, but I would need to assemble the hose ends myself...has anyone assembled these fuel hose lines/fittings before? some are twist on...but I think these require crimping??? I wanted to run the back braided line from the top of my engine (so yeah I'm being picky since I have so much time invested it might as well be what I want)
the line is here
