54 oil gauge line install

[Guy M.]

Has anyone installed this line from CC? Looks like it needs flared going into the block but with nothing for the flared end to seat to wont it leak? Or will the fitting tighten around the line sealing it? Same at gauge end? Thanks as always

Guy,

Not sure what size line CC is selling. Paul Mazut has the correct line and fittings. Original line size was 3/32"

The CC line and fittings works great. The line does not need to be flared. The fitting that comes with the line is a compression fitting and seals/flares the line end upon tightening.
