how do those fittings work?
the ones on the engine are a compression fitting (3/8" and a 5/16 tube) to 6AN. I got them from Summit for like $6 ea.Quote:

nope, no ugly collar - they are the fittings for the non-braided hose. I think they look better too. They are barbed and the hose locks on - it's a tight fit, I bought a heat gun...
never seen them before. so they are for high pressure and they just push on? im not referring to worm clamps when i say collars. heat gun, for...?
push lock fittings? like DOT air line uses?
no, not like push locks. The hose has an inner liner that the barb really grips to...they are a ***** to get apart. PSC uses them on their low pressure fittings on their steering stuff. A fuel system sees a lot less pressure than the high side of a steering system, so I'm guessing they are safe for the high side of the engine. Fuel sytem looks good scott. How close is it to firing up?

Please keep in mind that I have to put my steering behind the axle and need the 5th hole in front (for my Debenbar knuckles). I plan on running a single ended ram with TRE's on the tie-rod.
I like the WFO arms the best, its what I plan on using when I get new arms and move the tierod behind the axle. I dont really like the idea of the no-spring arms, just doesnt seem right to me.
all of the plumbing is done except for the stuff that will be near the steering, tube fenders here - some custom fab is needed, tires and wheels here. Pick up cage tube tomorrow...
That's body filler over the welds right? Just wanted to make sure it wasn't RTV, because then I would laugh at you for a long time. :)
Looks good!
yes - Lynda is in charge of the Bondo work over the welds :DQuote:
