Looking to plumb the car from front to back,what is the best for the money or just the best way. Steelbraided or that black braided hose. Any ideas would help.

Racer,

for the last two projects I used the Gates LOL hose. [same hose that Russell sells] [In the NHRA rule book there is a listing of approved hoses.]

And used the Russell push lock fittings with a product that Gates has called Powergrip Clamps These are a heat shrink material that grips the hose to the fitting. You do not use the Russell trim ring, the Gates products takes it's place. This is a quick, easy, good looking system. I know a number of racers doing this with no problems.

A local auto parts store who sells Gates products can get these items.

Send me your E-Mail address to me, durafin@gmail.com . I will send you a photo of a fitting installed.
