    This is the perfect swap for a semi-sleeper. When you meet someone at a light, they're just as likely to think you're an old timer who's just a little too proud of an old car w/o much actual power and are therefore easy prey....then they find out otherwise :-)

    Get you some -6 or -4 braided line and go to your local HYD hose shop, I.E John Deere, etc..
    Tell them you want the JIC-AN type fitting put on, and they can crimp those HYD hose ends on it, looks IDENTICAL to your steam setup...
    The elbow fittings are tight also, so it should clear your P.S pump.... Straight shot.

    I have a wild 468 13:1 comp. MIGHT do the swap with my el Camino 1980. The exhaust sounds boss from what I can tell, and I KNEW it wasn't Blowmasters' behind it ;) . Are the bullets walker made pr dynaflow?? I'm going to look into more bullets. With stainless steel packing not fiberglass this time. Thrush Reds sound KILLER behind a big block Chevy but the iso burns out of them too fast and they start to get too loud for street driving (cop callers). I have to hear the bullets when your car is running a1 :). BTW black works best on these G bodies imho. subscribed.
