Talking yo...

alright, i got all my fuel shit done, my fuel line to the carb comes from the driver side of the car. but theres not alot of space to mount the regualtor, gauge, etc etc... but the pass side is totally free of shit.

so pretty much, im lookin for pics of how ur fuel lines r run to the regulators, and fuel press gauge. i was thinkin bout whether i could run the line to the pass side of the car, but it would be either at the bottom by the k member, or on top by the engine, im not particulary lookin for vapor lock right now, considering its runnin good. post up and gimme ideas

Get some 3/8 aluminum line from Jegs or Summit, and redo your fuel line entirely. This way, you can bring it up wherever you want to. Thats what I did on my 67.

Ok, nevermind the lack of photobucket here...For some odd reason Photobucket isn't working on my home puter anymore. Weird...Anyway, click if you wish...

The first pic is my fuel pump located in the trunk. I took a rubber line about 3 inches or so (probably less though) directly off the fuel pick up at the tank and ran it to a fuel filter then to another rubber line then to the pump, then off the pump and back out of the trunk area and to my 3/8 line. Then the 3/8 aluminum line runs on the inside side of the frame rails/subframe connedtor rails to the engine bay. No pic of this though. I has no lift. The next pic is the passenger side firewall with the aluminum line coming up to the regulator. There is about an inch of rubber line to the regulator, and out of the regulator.

From the regulator, it goes to a 3-way splitter. One is the inlet, the two outlets go to the nitrous fuel solenoid and the carb feed line. Between the nitrous fuel solenoid, you will notice a small copper capilary tube fitting. This goes to my fuel pressure gauge outside the car.

So there you have it...My fuel system in a nutshell. Not exactly pretty, but it's worked for many years now....so if it aint broke....Don't fix it. I suppose I could clean it up a bit and make it all purty...but that isn't me. I kinda like the ghetto look on my fun car. It throws people off when they look at it.


I ran a guy with that car once many moons ago. He had a REALLY nice looking Camaro with a big block in it. My friend asked him if he wanted to run his car. He asked against wht? My buddy said "That POS rustang over there" and pointed at my car. The guy laughed and said "yeah right. That POS isn't even worth my time. Whats it got?" My buddy said "just a little 302. You'll decimate him." The guy said "ok. No problem....how much?" My buddy said I could only come up with about $25, but that my friends would chip in a little to make it worth this guys time. What he didn't know was I was running a 351w with a 125 shot of the bottle and running mid 10's with traction. Me and my "friends" came up with about $200 amongst the bunch of us (me). and ran him. I'll never forget his face when he came storming back yelling and screaming "JUST A LITTLE 302 MY ASS! I HAVE OVER 10,000 IN MY PAINT JOB ALONE!" I told him that maybe he should drop the BBC and go to a SBF...it would go faster and sound better too. LOL Then the motor would match the paint job because it did look REALLY nice. LOL

The uglier my car is, the faster it has gone. LOL

we ran it up the passenger side and then through the oblong hole in the inner fender right behind the shock tower.
