Worked perfect for a LS to a mustang 2 front end, the little brass piece has to be used for the hose to tightin up.

I ordered it for the 58 Chevy Truck that I am restoring. The fittings are perfect. It was shipped extremely fast. I have a ton of stuff from Speedway and have never been disappointed with the service or product.

I like everything about this hose set except the high pressure hose is clocked a little off for my application. Ended up curling the hose in different direction to get things aligned properly.
