Re: 1949 Chevy 3600 into a daily driver

A couple points to mention is it is critical that your air line is trimmed straight. The slightest angle can cause a leak.

Also when you insert your plastic air line into the fitting, push it in and the try to pull it toward you a couple times. This helps to seat the line. Tracing the system with a spray bottle full of soapy water helps to pin point trouble leaks.

I'm sure that I'm not telling you anything new just thought I would mention it as that helped a lot with leaks I had in my air system.

Looking great man...

Marc
