officially done with conversion lines

lost another line tonight so im giving up and gonna rebend my vp lines. not sure what the problem is but i've cracked more lines than i care to count. ran both .120 stainless and .093 mild steel lines. lines are all clamped, supported, and properly torqued. figure it will be a good time to swap injectors and dv's while im at it too.

this is the reason I advocate a 12v swap vs. a conversion

Could it be that the supports and clamps are putting stress on the lines?
I dont want to jinx myself but I have never lost one.

Thought about stepping down a size or two in lines? I've had the .078" lines on my truck for 3 years now, and other than the #1 leaking at the fitting at the head, they have been good. They fit like ****, but no cracks.

I just bought a set of .093" lines for my new pump setup, hopefully the last like the smaller set.

dont think it is the supports causing the problem. had more problems without the supports than with them.

not too worried about the integrity of the vp lines from rebending them. only going to bend them enough to make them work and look semi decent. not trying to rebend them to match the look of the conversion lines. besides if i break them they wont cost me anything to replace. i have several sets of vp lines at my disposal

I have been thinking of taking fuel line, slicing it, wrapping my lines when I get them on and making my own set of clamps. That way the rubber acts as a damper system for the lines. Just my .02

I got my lines from Woodruff, they fit like they were factory, although I had to lap the connector tubes to the injector lines to get them to seal up. no cracks so far, but it really doesn't have many miles on it yet, been fighting head problems.

I wonder if those came from Schied too. Does anyone know if Woodruff does any business with Schied?

The Schied lines I had fit like chit. And I blew the #2 TWICE. One of the reasons I went back to a vp.

I really don't see whats so damn hard to make on these things.
