I know, when the kit was available the changeover was so easy. Now it's a headache. The tool pictured above was bought, at least 20 years ago, from either Assenmacher in Colorado, or Baum Tool. I'm sure that someone still sells it because it can be used on other make cars as well.

There is a thread over at Pelican (forums.pelicanparts.com) by Jim Sims that discusses how to make a similar tool.

Try a search for postings by Jim Sims with nylon and CIS as the key words.

Thanks. I looked it up. It's a flaring tool. Pretty common part for brake and fuel systems I guess.

Actually, it is not. It is a tool to push the very stiff nylon tubing onto a barb fitting.

Harry: That's correct, the tool that I have closes tight against the outside of the fuel line, which enables it to be pushed onto the barbed fitting - with no damage/marks on either part.

Found it. It's tool #P385 at http://www.baumtools.com
This is my first fuel system experience, does anyone have any reccomendations to prevent a nice mist spraying my engine compartment? Thanks for the help.

Does anyone have a photo of this kit on their car. I would really appreciate it. I'm trying to determine if I need to replace any of the fuel lines. Thanks much. - Jamie
