What's the question? It's npt to an? Not that difficult which Russel line? The twist lok or standard make your finger tips bleed braided hose.

Having said that I solely use twist-lok now for my efi conversions. Braided only if it's in close proximity to high heat.

I bought the kool tools push lok installer and it takes all but 10 seconds to put a fitting on.

How to install which one? Standard braided hose or the twist lok?? They install different.

And so far so good haven't seen any issues I've used both earls and Russel twist-lok twist-tite different name same principle. running them up to 58psi. Fitech fuel commander comes with Russell hardware.

But I've ran it only a max of 24" section.

Usually under the car I run steel hose which I then will flare into a gm connector.

I use this tool for the push lok https://youtu.be/2rFSuUXKAGU

The same company makes a nice set of dies to install braided hose without having to tape the ends off as you slide it on to the fitting.
