No, no, I haven't started her up yet. Decided to upgrade the fuel system. Came out so good decided to post a pic

Took out both skinny supply and return fuel lines and replaced them with 3/8 stainless lines. The supply line I ran all the way to the regulator from the pump. Since I decide to use no rubber hoses, I will install a filter and a shut off in line.
The return line goes all the way to the tank.





Hey! Tools that make life sooo easy. I minimized fuel spills with a set of pinch-offs and various sizes of stainless plugs.

 

that is an awesome setup!! going with staniless lines should be able to handle a lot of pressure(not that the rubber ones wont) and add a bit more spice to your already smoking engine bay!!

 

YOU THE MA......NN...err WOMAN!

eveything is so clean, and shiny...hate to see you actually use it, and get it dirty

or maybe you should get it all dirty..would help my envy
great job looks great

 

Ughhhhhhh, I think I just wet myself. I'll just keep that to myself. I didn't say that out loud, did I? Damn nice. Looks real good with the side drafts. That thing should sound freekin awsome!

 

Nice.

 

wow, you could eat off anything in that engine bay. And I was feeling so good that I managed to scrub SOME of the dirt and grime off of mine...

very nice.

 

I hate you and envy you at the same time! So fresh so clean yadadaddamean!

 

My eyes are bad... are those braided SS lines or hard SS lines?

 

Your fuel lines match the professionalism of the whole engine bay. Congratulations, great concept and workmanship.

 

OMG Im so jealous Kim! WTG on a UBER sweet setup!

 

Wanna trade??? it looks perfect. I can tell you cannot wait to start it up and begin the break in.

 

very nice work...grade A

 

I have to say that the feminine touch to cleanliness and organization has definite advantages when that female has a wrench in her hand.

 

^^ totally agree we should have kim as our mechcaninc

 

The supply is all stainless line. The return I hooked up a braided piece with a quick disconnect at the end of it, stainless Guest fitting x 3/8 barb with a stainless compression fitting and nut to the tubing, then the rest is stainless line. Did that just incase I ever need to take out the regulator.




Thanks everyone for the support and kind words. It is alot of hard work, but well worth it to me. I tell ya it was a pain in the *** to bend all of that tubing and get it in there, but I managed to follow the stock lines and was able to use the stock holders under the car. And boy do I have alot of 3/8 line left over.

 

Your engine bay is insanely clean/neat. How long have you been working on the car? What all do you have done to it? You're an inspiration.

ya hats off to you on your clean and organized bay...hopefully once I paint and put the motor back in I can get it as spotless as that...I wish there were girls around here who even knew what a set of vice grips were

 

wow, that is absolutley breathtaking. I would say best looking engine bay ive ever seen. A++

 

Thanks for the answer... and yes your bay is now my insperation to get mine up to snuff while I don't have an engine in.
