I've put braided steel line on a lot of cars. Always used Earl's products with no problems and no leaks and I've probably spent more than $3K in line and fittings.
The most important step in the procedure is cutting the line. If you use electrical tape, make sure it is on very tight to make sure the wire mesh does not stick out when trying to push it thru the hose end. Put a little lube on the inside of the hose end when pushing it on ... but push while twisting the hose end so it slides on easier.
Follow the instructions. Nothing worse than a braided steel line leaking.
If you have not done it before, you can buy the carb hose/fittings already assembled. If you intend to do a lot of braided steel lines, there are specialized tools that makes cutting the hose easy.
