    How to connect an oil line?

    I am putting in an cam oil line as part of updating the chain tensioners on my 69S. The oil line came with no connector on one end. I purchased a nut and a ferule (?). How do I attach the hardware to the oil line, do I use a special tool that expands the end of the oil line, use glue or what?

    Since you have a ferrule, this implies that you have one component of a compression fitting. The ferrule slips over the tube and is captured between the nut and the mating fitting that the nut screws on to. When the nut is tightened the ferrule swages the tube making a leak tight seal. No sealer is used in this type of fitting, but a little oil on the threads will be beneficial. Do not over tighten! About 1 - 1.5T from lightly seated should be fine.
