or run all braided if its easier, or if the trans is out.
While I'm not running an 80E, & hope I don't ever have to, that's exactly the best time to do them.

I was just mockin up the fitting & end after I got the remainder of the ones I needed. I took measurements best I could by myself yesterday on how long the lines needed to be so I know what I need. It's close, but it'll be more than enough. I built in a margin of error. I wanna do a few tidbits like this to minimize downtime & visualize it. Cooler can be mocked some now, then I'll tighten later w/. wrenches in my soft jaws, & complete when trans is swapped.

I got some cool lil adapters that connect into your factory fittings and have -6AN male threads on the other side.. This right here is the easiest way!!

So I've been told. I was told those w/. the crush washer stop that crackin from happening. Where did u find those Jonathan?

Also, there are quick connects out there. I've heard they minimize the flow.

i was told by Vince that the threads arent 1/4" NPT but its close enough to work.. but if you tighten them down too tight it will crack the case.
Figured he knew what he was talking about..
