Hey Big-

You're never too old to learn something. Ask all the questions you want. I used mild steel tubing(easy to bend) and used 3/8"ID rubber hose to connect. It works great on my 292.

Do you know where Cuthbert, GA. is? I took my brother there during the 60's to college. Yeah, it's a little "red" down there. We were living in Maryland at the time and the have tere share of "Rednecks" too.
Why don't you post some photos of your project?
