Re: 87 Fuel Sender Conversion

I'm glad you cleared that up 87chevy.com. I have used FI clamps before on temporary basis. I personally prefer braided lines. I use braided lines for power steering hose, fuel line hose, transmission line hose, catch can hose, and steam line hose. I wish you all the best for your swaps. Clark.

Power steering is different.. 750psi vs fuel 70psi. it requires special hose and matching fittings. I have used aeroquip blur nylon power steering hose and fittings without a problem. I wouldn't recommend a hose clamp on a pressure line unless I was stranded.
