    This is a very secure set up, it almost looks like what the aviation industry uses in aircraft, in fact no doubt was adapted from the aviation industry, I already have this for my fuel system, AN fittings and I love that look, I just wish they made there AN fittings in blue and red anodized , but still are very nice. and very leak proof for sure,

Got one for my engine and I'm making the hoses. Although I'm getting someone to weld AN bungs on my radiator since it's a new one and not installed yet. Thanks so much 👍🏼

    I have AN fittings on my 1980 Trans am as well for stainless steel to stop the fraying I used the widest electrical tape I had which was 1 1/2 inch. wide cut it in the middle took a small zip tie around the edge to help with holding it in place and then used super glue to hold it let it sit for half hour or so took it all off and placed the hose end on it works like a charm. Nice tutorial by the way....Pontiac we built excitement!!

    just to make sure the hose does not back out durring the threading. masking tape on the hose at the fitting end.. then after you tighten the fitting up you can check the tape to see if the hose backed/ press out

    • @FastMonty
      @FastMonty  3 роки тому

      Good point Randell... the hose will actually increase in length, because it's getting compressed inside the nut. So, you will see that tape reference point move. This is typical for large hoses. Smaller hoses, you wouldn't see very much, if at all. Thanks!

    I copied the whole setup! I have a 1969 Pontiac lemans and so your videos are a savior and perfect! I bought through your links. One request- if you can list the part numbers in the description it would really help. I was able to pause the video and copy the numbers on the packages and it made sure it was all accurate. Some of the parts look very similar and it would help. Thanks so much for all these videos I’ll pick up some fmg apparel 🔥

    • @FastMonty
      @FastMonty  3 роки тому

      Good point Byron.... I intentionally did not post the actual part numbers because everyone's set up is different. For example, even though we have the same engine, my radiator, and intake manifold may be different. So, it's always best to measure the nipple sizes, etc... just as instructed. That said, I did add more links, like the AN Wrenches, Hose, Hose pre-wrap, Vice Clamps, etc... so, that should help. :) Second to that... I just posted the Bottom hose install. Make sure you review that too, because I added a step for the Size 20 fittings. ua-cam.com/video/Qx-5EnEnynE/v-deo.html Welcome to the FMG family!

    Nice video, I’ve cut Aeroflow full flow 90’s in half and let’s just say they were terrible, alloy isn’t alloy and the radius was all wrong. I’ve since changed to Speedflow, it’s an Australian owned family business and used in all the top motorsports teams here. I even buy the bar ends by the kg and make solid alloy bushes from them. A beautiful billet alloy they use. In short, I’ve redone my whole fuel system twice. I do like those radiator fittings. Brings me to another item fabricators would rather use Speedflow weld on bungs. I have several in my build and my fabricator will only use these. The other brand, they splatter dye to impurities in the alloy, alloy not alloy, hope this helps in some way. If you wish to communicate let me know and I can show you my engine and fittings.

    That scratch you ended up with on fitting when tightening is why I bought the nylon vise jaw inserts that earls makes for the AN fittings.figure spending the type of money it takes to make all you own lines with braided hose and all the AN fittings needed to make them I wanted to have best results I could possibly get without having a chance of scratching or marring the fitting.think the cost difference between the aluminum jaw inserts and the nylon was like 18 cents so why not pay a few extra pennies to have the extra assurance to not scratch your fittings.obviously you can still scratch them with the wrenches but thats a chance you gotta take.lol.btw awesome looking project you got going on there man.im in process of starting a frame off resto on a 71 chevy C10 for my uncle.i keep pissing him off by making him spend more money then he wanted cause I want to use the best of everything where he's wanting to do it as cheap as possible.i told him if I'm going to do the project I'm doing the best way I can with the best parts so end result is as good as it can be.dont think he realizes what it actually takes to have a quality job done when it comes to rebuilding an entire vehicle.he wanted to try having whole truck done for 10k or less.i laughed and told him I'd more than likely have 10k or more just into body work,prep and paint and that he better start thinking of spending more like 30 to 40k on build plus he wants to go with old school carbureted.told him i think it would be better to go with newer LS motor thats fuel injected.think he sharted his pants when I said what reality cost would be to do it rite compared to what he was thinking.lmao.now mind you im doing all work myself at no costs with exception when truck is done he's buying me a Suzuki TL1000 sport bike(maybe 4k for bike so i think thats a damn good deal)for all my time and work.

    A heads up if you want to do this. Make sure you order the exact Aeroflow part show in this video. AF64-2074S. The ones listed on the auto plumb site are different and do not fit the swivel housing. I'm checking with Autoplumb to see if they have this in stock. Aeroflow is in Australia so keep this in mind if you go to order this directly from them. As a follow up. They do still have this part but is not on website. They had a fitment issue with the black ones on some non-Aeroflow housings. But, the silvers didn't seem to have the issue.

I am looking to do a time attack car on my civic hatchback.. and I will be running for long hours at the track.. and I will be dealing with heat, im going to run a full size radiator aluminum by KOYORAD.. now the 16 AN Bungs.. must be also aluminum and have it weld it.. and have a hose run to the other end.. but welding the aluminum 16An Bung to the aluminum radiator. .. I don't know how to do it.. and more than likely I will take it to a shop and have it professionally weld it. TiG weld, but I saw your video AN with no welding.. and im going to run a electric water pump.. no mechanical.. so will have coolant running non stop in my engine to keep the heat down.. but will the product from your video handle all that heat stress...at the circuit autocross.. .

    Thanks

    • @FastMonty

      In my opinion, slightly slower coolant flow... but, that means the coolant stays in the radiator longer, getting cool. So, it shouldn't change the performance of your cooling system negatively. Again, just my opinion. Thanks for the comment!

    Everyone seems to have their own method of cutting Hose, but mine seems to work pretty good for making the cut straight with minimum fraying. I just put a standard wormgear hose Clamp on each side of the cut line, spacing them just a few thousands more than the cutting wheel I cut the hose with. If there is any fraying, file or grind it off before removing the Clamps. Must be idiot-proof 'cause it's worked for me every time.

    • @FastMonty
      @FastMonty  3 роки тому

      Totally agree... in actuality, you don't have to cut it, and it doesn't matter which way you put it on. The force applied by the strap wrench is more than enough to keep the tape in place. I think the manufacturer was just over cautious with the instructions. I'll try and mention that when I film the lower hose install, which is more difficult for my engine. Thanks for the comment!

    But I have to ask, does it add power? Of course not. Does it increase reliability? Maybe, but a well-maintained rad hose has never failed us. We have a large farm
    and dozens of engines, some not new by any means. Hose failure is nonexistent. Our 72 T/A has some serious mods, but they are not visible to the untrained eye.
    Hose changes like your suggesting may please many, but for us is overthinking the situation. Just our 2 cents.
