I have my small block out for work and I hadn't the time to set up the remote oil filter when I originally installed it. It will have to attach to my EMI exhaust manifolds and risers. I bought their remote install kit, but its for a different setup. Not a huge deal, there are workarounds.
Where I am looking for advice is on the oil hose setup. The factory remote system has hard lines that do not conform to the EMI exhaust, and the lines are not long enough either. They are 1/2" metal to swaged (swegged?) rubber 1/2" id centers. I'm tempted to get some 1/2" oil/fuel hose and cut back the metal lines, flare the metal, clamp it and go. Then I'd just need to support the soft lines along their way.
Would a single or double clamp in front of a flare be a good, leak free seal?
There are aftermarket kits that have easy install stuff too. I'd rather just do this today though, I'm off and time is available.

I used barbed fittings and double clamped each. Flared with fittings would be better I guess but I did run this way for years and the current owner is still running it that way 8 years since I sold it.

Wait,,,there is a Sears still around ? Concord,NH still ? I thought they where all closed up.

Remember back in the day when you'd look through a sears catolog making a wish list for Xmas presents. In their real early days you could order your own heroin kit. WTF... Unbelievable how times change so quickly. Personally I'm more curious as to what's going on with all the Walmarts closing and activity going on around/under them. I've never been in one.
