How can I attach my 1/2 aluminum line to my steel braided hose. Is there a compression fitting that can be used. Please help I am stuck right now until I get this done.

Slowbird:
You need to get and AN818-8 nut and AN819-8 sleeve and flare the end of the tube with a 37 degree flaring tool(don't forget to install the nut and the sleeve first) Then get a AN815-8 union and you can attach the two together. ------------------ "Run wild with an Indian, not with the crowd in a Chevy" Check out my restoration at http://members.aol.com/jetmech15/gto

Thanks now the only question I have is where can I get 37 degree flaring kit. Is that just a normal flaring kit or is that a special angle. With kind of help I will have the car running in no time!

I use a regular flaring tool sold at any hardware store. It has like 5 different sizes for different pipe. Lowe's has it for $19.99. These work well on aluminun pipe but tend to wear out when used repetivley on steel such as brake lines. As far as the 37 degree flare, I know nothing about that. I do know that I've had no problems with the tool I use.

You can find a 37 degree flaring tool at any aviation tool supply store. Where are you getting your AN fittings from? They should have one also. ------------------ "Run wild with an Indian, not with the crowd in a Chevy" Check out my restoration at http://members.aol.com/jetmech15/gto

slowbird,
Try Grainger or McMaster-Carr, they carry 37 degree flaring tools. There is a wide range in prices, more expensive models are designed to do stainless tubing. Good luck, Herb

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
