Looking for a little help putting together my Christmas present. I got -6 fuel line and fittings from carb to fuel pump. I am wanting to put it together and looking for a few tips from some who have done this. Anyone got any good advice they want to offer. I have never done this before but always thought that it looks very cool when done right. So I asked for it. Now I got it, just got to get it together.

Chime in here and get me on the road.

Thanks guys.

Try this on for size:

Helped me immensely...dig deep into the site. Ben and Sarge81 did the rest. As far as torqueing the fittings, it's sort of grey. The guys said tightening until it fits snug or until it first bottoms out, then a quarter-turn more. Those alum. fittings can't be yanked on too hard. Lube the threads, it helps. I didn't use thread tape like Earl's recommends...no leaks, yet. Good luck!

BTW, I have your picture as wallpaper on my computer at work...it's very soothing.

Thanks for the link. I have been digging around and came up with an article that was in Hot Rod Magazine. They always make it look easy. I guess the main point of the article was to use lube. Mine are the compression type mentioned in their article.
