Thanks guys. I'm going to try and hunt down a conical washer today locally. If that fails I'll call Earls on Monday. The funny thing is I use Jegs fittings most of the time and Earls for specialty stuff. I called Earls and asked if their hose would work with Jegs fittings. No way, they are made in China he said. I don't think they all are but they haven't ever leaked on me. Earls does make some cool specialty fittings so I can't complain to much. I'm sure a .50 cent washer will take care of it.

WOW!! It's so tough to stuff that much crap under the hood and make it look good, but dude your engine bay looks sweet and sanitary! I agree with the other guys your attention to details has stepped up. Good job, can't wait to hear how it drives.

You're not kidding Jack. That big block takes up a ton of Real Estate all by itself. It's a real jigsaw puzzle laying all the systems out and making them look good and most importantly, functional. Your car is the king of clean so I really appreciate the comment.

Awesome job Todd, you fit a lot of equipment in a tight space and made it look super clean. I love the way you handled all the hoses. When I get mine back your car will definately be one to study to help package mine. Great video too. How did you get the brushed finnish on the air cleaner so even did you mount it on a drill or something? It all looks great!
