I bought some of the raw pieces from Jack Cotton.

I then used the -10 hose, and then a 90d, and 45d hose end to mate things up. I think two 45d's might be best. The block is 1/2" pipe to -10

It's tight, but I like it alot more then the stock drain.

I think a 45 at the block might be the ticket but what you have there looks pretty good considering what you were working with.

Nice job! :cool:

Looks good...Eastern sells a pretty cheap one, but it doesn't swivel on the block end so you have to make sure you insert that first. I am planning to use Earl's Super Stock hoses to make the drains on my twin setup.

Ya, when your working with them ol Buicks you just can't get too excited about how they come out, LOL

Oh, and get the hose ends started before installing the turbo. Also, Earls fittings with the swivel ends might be worthwhile.

John's looks a lot like the Eastern one.

What I meant by that, Bruce is that you're going a short distance and steel braided line is only going to bend so much.
