Braided fuel lines

Has anyone done it? If you have any pointers I would really appreciate your thoughts. I was on the hot rodders forum and they suggested this tool: http://www.koultools.com Thanks, Jack

I have after market fuel lines between the TPI fuel rail and the OEM hard lines. I went with Aeroquip Socketless hose because I wouldn't need to buy any special tools. It is very simple- cut the fuel line and shove over the barbed connector ends. I've done this on two TPI Vettes and would recommend it to anyone.


1980 L82 w/ TPI
My hoses are below the throttle body and above the IAC in the image below.

1978 crate motor w/ TPI
The hoses are in blue below the throttle body.

You can purchase the GM TPI rail to AN fittings and then use the hose barbs. I had a custom application and needed to route the hoses off the fuel rail itself.
