Hello;
Been working on my 57 chevy for some time now. got it to a point to be able to start it. It fired right up but I had problems!!!
Added a front runner system (not name brand) that has a GM type 2 PS pump. Got a adapter to fit the 16mm output  to the hose. Went and had a hose made longer to fit new positioning. Now the darn thing leaks!!
Took my old PS line to the co. they made me a hose but there seems to be leakage from that hose at the pump end. I tried several times but it always leaks!
Anyone got any ideas? thinking I may have to take the hose back to the co. that made it! possible bad end!
Thanks in advance for any help! Im near but so far away right now.

Welcome to hell. Here's your accordion.

Hello
I played some more with this and got it to "almost not leak! Then I read that the hose end being flanged needs to be "extremely" tight so I will try to "whale" on the hose end (not the adapter) and see if I can get any more out of it!
Then, if it still leaks, everything goes to the hose builder along with the brass adapter!
