AOD Trans Lines

[JOP33]

What pressure rating do Trans Lines need to be? I want to use the flexible rubber lines and I read on another post that the EFI lines would work, but I have also heard that the EFI lines may not hold up to the heat. Any suggestions or input on this one?

Thanks

I ordered these part #'s from Gotta show. 231104 and 231102. About $150.00 plus shipping.

Most any auto parts store will stock rubber "oil cooler" / "transmission cooler" / "power steering" hose on rolls in a few different sizes.


I don't think the pressure is the big concern - I think it's the hot oil that can cause a problem with rubber hose that's not specifically made for that...

Jop33,

I just ordered the following items from Summit Racing for my transmission lines.

SUM-230620 S.S. HOSE -6 20FT X 1
SUM-220027 TRANSMISSION LINE ADAPTERS PR X 2 (Give me 4 parts)
RUS-610025 FULL FLOW HOSE END STRAIGHT -6 X 4


That is enough to give me two AN -6 braided lines with adapters for transmission lines. It also provides enough extra hose for my fuel line from the Hard Line to the carb inlet so I bought a few more adapters to run that as well.

If you are like me you also like to buy tools so I also bought

AAF-ALL11126 WRENCH ALUMINUM DOUBLE END

Which is an open double ended wrench with -4 and -6 AN sizes.

I used copper and nickel universal lines. They are very flexible and easy to work with. I first used the lines from the kit but you had to use a bender and when the engine was in place it was a pain. My transmission had to come out after I was done so I used the copper and I should have used them from the start.

JOP,

Here are a couple pictures of the Transmission lines I am using now. I just got the tools and put the ends on last week.

I need to shorten one of the hoses but that is a simple task now that I have the correct tools. I think it looks much better than a solid line or rubber lines being ran, but that is just me.

Nice set-up Tim...I like the braided lines.

Thanks

Could you provide details on the tool you used to make the braided lines? Or did all the fittings just auto-crimp when assembled? Much appreciated, love the look of braided lines myself!!

Well I bought the line cutting tool and it makes a nice clean cut.

I also picked up a Koul Tools ANB Hose Assembly tool for AN -6 fittings.

Once cut with the cutter you put the fitting into the assembly tool and then push the hose in on the flanged side of the tool. It has a tapered section on it that forces the braid down and into the fitting. Then I was pulling the fitting out, turning it around then fighting the end up as required. It was really simple to do.

I am planning to use PTFE hose. It is more than capable of handling the pressure, temperature, and chemical properties.
