Thanks

Anything, but Stock and more mods to come!
SSBC Force 10 Brakes, 3.73, TH350, 355 CID, Rack and Pinion, Vette Brakes suspension front and rear.
Bare, No teflon. The teflon tape will prevent the fitting from fully tightening into the seat.
FYI I believe those ends should have a JIC end on them, but I would have to look at mine to verify.

I agree. Teflon tape or pipe dope on non-seating fittings only (i.e. pipe threads).
