Brake adapter fittings

[John McIntire]

I was looking to run braided line from my master cylinder to the distribution block down on the frame.
I am looking for some AN fittings that I can use to adapt from those ports on the MC and distribution block. I've looked at Russell, but they only go as large as a 7/16 inverted flare, but the ports are larger than that.
Does anyone know of where I can find fittings like this?
You might be asking whay I want to do this, but I think it would be easier than buying and flaring Stainless tubing.
Thanks for any info you guys may have!

If you haven't already, you should give InlineTube and ClassicTube a call. They both sell a decent selection of NPT, AN, inverted flare and banjo fittings as well as the associated hoses, metering and distribution blocks.

Got that 572 humming yet? I just fired mine for the first time last weekend.

yo dan, thanks for the sites, I'll check them out

Hows your project going? Tell me what its like!!!! I cant wait to get mine done! Is it really just useless, endless amounts of torque like they say?

Well funny you should ask Jon! I took the 572 out for her maiden voyage on Monday. Before I ever got out of 1st I could tell there was something wrong with the carb. The engine idles fine (nice and lumpy) and when applying throttle it runs like a scalded cat (MUCHO torque!), but the carb won't "cruise". I don't care if it's 15mph in 1st or 65mph in 5th, when holding the throttle in one position, the carb surges and stumbles horribly. I've called BG a couple times and received different diagnosis each time. I think the Demon has a manufacturing defect.

So tomorrow I'm installing a 930cfm Holley I have on the shelf to see if things improve (I expect they will). Luckily you won't have to deal with the carb! - lol - If the Holley runs out smooth then I'm returning the Demon under warranty for a replacement.

The motor has GOBS of torque!! I'm running a TKO and 3.42 gear and have NO problem breaking the tires loose at 65mph in 3rd. It's twice the motor of my old LS-7 454! So with the carb I'm not so pleased, but with the engine itself I couldn't be happier.
