Title: NOS oil pressure lines??
Post by: yd328 on March 22, 2017, 06:05:12 AM: I have the flexible oil pressure line that go to the gauge and block. They seem to be just as corrugated and braided type line, no rubber. I am wondering if I should be using them or find/make a modern replacement. How reliable are these old lines? Anyone using them?

Thanks Gary
