Source for 12 AN Stainless Steel Braided Hose
I have e-mailed Wayne, as I could not find this product on PP. I found a Co in Washington State that sells the hose for $5.00 a foot.
Anyone have a better source?? TIA.

Assuming that the 12AN hose is for your new 3.2's oil cooling system, what is the future of your car? According to BA book, 12AN is the min size. If your car is going to see a bunch of track time, 16AN hose might be a better choice.

The trouble with -12 is the fittings. The hose itself is 3/4 inch ID, about the same as the factory 19 mm stuff.
Problem is the fittings fit INSIDE the hose and have a much smaller ID. Typically they are 14.5 - 15 mm and have a flow capacity about 1/2 the factory 19 mm parts. -16 has fitting IDs that are comparable to the factory bits.

Thanks to all for the help.
Jim and Chuck, the car is not destined for as much track time as I would like  Thanks for the heads up on the -16I will check out the difference in the price, and report back the decision. Cheers,

Some of my favorite suppliers for racining hardware are Pegasus , Racer Wholesale , Truechoice and Essex . They tend to be comparable in price, but on any given item, often one will be a little cheaper.

-12AN Hose
I have had great service from american street rod performance co, which is located at www.amstreetrod.com. Their selection of Earl's stuff is very good and they provide excellent customer service.
I cannot say anything positive about Baker Precision, so I won't. But it is a factual matter that I ordered some -6AN hose from them to finish up my fuel cell installation, and they sent me -8AN. Also, I ordered some -6AN aluminum wrenches from them and they sent me -4AN. I do not intend to purchase anything from them again. Just curious, what's the -12 for? JFC

Hey . . . you guys are the greatest.
John: I'm installing an oil cooler on my '77, and using -12 for the lines, although it has been suggested that I should look at -16.
