Yes Bill, I used the blue Aeroquip hose on my 67 Camaro and liked it.  I 
"lubed" the fittings with a very thin coat of Permatex before pushing the hose 
on.  It went on nice and easy, then when the "lube" set up, I knew I had a 
permanent fit.  The only way to undo that Permatix is to cut the hose off, 
clean the fitting on a wire brush, and re-do it, but it sure makes a solid seal.

Braided hose is traditional and impressive-looking, but a lot of people
prefer Aeroquip blue hose with push-on fittings from Speedway Motors.
Elmo Gillette told me about it and it works fine for me. Anybody else
here use it? The barbed fittings are hard to push the hose onto, but
they never leaked for me.
