What does this group use when replacing the vacuum advance line and oil feed line to the valve train?

Aluminum?
Brass?
Stainless?

Wall thickness?

Thanks,

Jeff

I use plate steel tubing for fuel and vacuum lines. Use copper for oil line to valve train. Had to find some of the brass fittings. Took a while but finally got them.

There are suppliers that have these already made up. The Filling Station and others. Look in Hemmings Motor News .com for a list.
