TB Bypass- What material to use?
TB Bypass- What material to use? What material do you use for tb bypass adn where can i find it? I'm in a rush to get car working (intake manifold install) so can get to work in morning and don't have time for a search.
5/16 inch fuel line,,i would get 3 feet and cut down to what you need (2 feet will do it, but tightly)
and 2 very small worm clamps,,,,,,the line will be "loose" on the fitting right in front of your intake, but the worm clamp will make short work of that.
A couple of zip ties to clean things up and your set
Good luck!

1. Barb fitting. Ended up leaking.
2. 5/16" fuel line clamped down to fit on the 1/4" tube. It worked, but IMO, it wasn't the correct way to do it. If you are in a pinch, this method gets my vote.
3. The way I currently have it is with a tube sleeve and tube nut, and I flared the end of the crossover tube to accept a 37* flare fitting. The rest is -6 stainless braided hose that goes to the radiator. Not the cheapest method, but by far the cleanest way to do it.
NAPA has a non-metal coolant connector, 1/4" that works to connect the two lines. Not sure on the f-body, but on the Vette the line that connects to the radiator is expanded to a larger diameter so a constant diameter line won't work. I ended up extending the 1/4" line from the cross over on the head to place the connection in a better location away from the water pump and then the coupler to join the lines.

looks like the 5/16 line worked. it was dark when i finsihed so can't tell if it's leaking. Car seems to have lots more power w FAST 90 installed. Problem w/ idling at 2K now though. Guessing its just blade opened at idle. Will tackle that tomorrow.
