did you use a pipe to an adaptor off the front of the manifold? The hose end should swivel (i.e. stay in your prefered position) and not need much force to tighten.
Turbo oil feed line size???

yes I did......I used a 3/8 NPT pipe to a -6AN 90 degree adapter from the manifold, but it did not swivel. I don't know......maybe I tightened it too much. Hand tight still seemed too loose (but it was in there pretty good) I went 2 fulls turns on it after it was hand tight and thats when I messed it up (even with like 6 layers of duct tape on the wrench)

if the piece you used was a single fitting from pipe to an then it wont swivel properly.. The russell and earls fittings are cheaper b/c they arent a full swivel design. We only use the Goodrich fittings, which are more expensive but much better. I would have recommend a straight 3/8 to -6 fitting. Then a separate -6 90 deg hose end.
