So after buying just about every 10an AN 90 deg fitting and it not fitting in space i found a company in New Zealand that makes pretty much any size/style fitting and they came through with an amazing product. Anyone that has a 427w with borla stack injection and plans to run heat using the correct port on motor franklin performance in NZ is only one that makes it.

Started the a/c lines, waiting for 1 fitting then i can crimp everything. I ended up bending hardline to go from rear to front instead of the long hosses.

Very nice job on your plumbing.

I was thinking the same about hard lines for the long runs front to back. Did you get the pre terminated ones from Vintage or do you have another source?

Thanks.yes vintage air 4’ lengths and I bent.I ordered them from summit part #’s below.

Cooling system is complete and all self bleeding.in the front i put a pice of hose to join the section where it transfers from chassis to the aluminum front section to act as flex spot. Id be lying if i said it didnt kick my a&$ lol.

The flare on the end of that tubing looks pretty narrow.

The flare is only for The connection where the silicone hose goes over to grip inside hose so cant Slide on the smooth surface. pic looks deceiving but it’s a decent amount for what I’m using for.

Much better steering wheel than on the earlier post.

I didn't think about the heater water valve. I'll need one too since there are no blend doors to just keep the air off of the heater core. On the Cobra I think I used a Fiesta part because it is a simple solenoid, so the rotary switch I used for heat and ac switched it and the compressor.

OK, not for an AN fitting?
