Default 68 427 oil line kits

Im looking for a 68 427 copper oil line kit. All i see offered are the plastic oil line kits. Does anyone know about a 68 copper or stainless Steel oil line kit and where to buy it ? Thanks

Just buy a el cheapo plastic kit and use the ferrels on 1/8 copper line. It should be available at a good hardware store or online. Personally I prefer stainless hose as it seems to be more resistant to vibration and abrasion.

Is a 68 different than a 69? Paragon has them for 69-73.

I did think of that. But was just hoping they sold copper or stainless steel oil kits for a 68.

I bought a steel oil line kit from Doc Rebuild some time ago. Worked fine and easy install.

I just changed all of mine to -4AN lines. Replaced the fittings at the block and gauge with the appropriate -4 to 1/8NPT, used a short line from the block to a bulkhead fitting, and then another line to the gauge. Steel braided, 3000PSI burst strength and Teflon lined. No more worry about the nylon getting melted, the copper cracking, or the steel leaking. Gauge pulses a bit, but responds quickly too.
