DRR Trophy

When I first built the Sunfire I made a decision to add loops of tubing at the master cylinder because I had seen it that way all of my life. The engine compartment is cramped on the drivers side and the loops make it really tough to remove that header. Is there any reason I couldn't make a these connections short as possible to aid header removal? I have a Strange master cylinder, line lock and a proportioning valve to plumb. Does anyone have a preference on how to route this for best results. Thank You

I have never put loops in mine and only seen loops in stock type cars. The loops are for vibration in a long run to prevent the line from breaking.

Loops are for cars that have rubber body mounts, like most trucks and car with full or partial frames. Not needed on unibody cars like early ford mustangs and full tube chassis drag race cars.

Make sure your water pump is on whenever you check your coolant level.

My ****her worked at GM plant building car for 28 years the hole reason for the loops were so they could open them or close them to accommodate body and frame variances

If that's so, I stand corrected..

just an opinion i think it is for vibration purposes, but i dont think it will matter in a race car,even though we do have a vibration at times.like as soon as we crank up.


thank you, president Trump
