Thanks..!!!

 

i cant comment on the fuel rail because i have no experience with that, but it looks good to me...

on the other hand, the green plug is either your fan thermoswitch or your stock water temp sensor. to fix it, you could just de-pin it, cut the wires and add new pins and solder/connect the new wires with the pins. it would be good as new...

 

It looks like you have spent a good bit of time and money on your lines but might I ask why you switched from the stock parts? It seems like you have introduced multiple points of failure (leaks) that would not be a concern with the stock parts (save for the stock fuel pulsation damper.) For example the stock line between the primary and secondary rail utilizes banjo bolts with crush washers and crimped hoses, which should be quite durable.

My only concern with all those adapter fittings/teflon tape would be the possibility for leaks down the road. All manufacturers (Earls, Aeroquip, etc) require frequent inspection of all hoses and fittings for leaks which would be fine for a race car but a little tedious for a street car.

Does your location and accessability to stock parts have something to do with it?

 

Thanks for the comments...

Actually the reason for all this is pretty common to everyone... I started by trying to clean a 18 years old dirty rails... Then I decided to switch to 1300cc for Secondaries... Then I decided to get rid of the FPD and thead down the primary rail... After I threaded one side I decided to do both sides of primary... and then the idea of 6AN fittings came in... And the end result is what you see in the pictures.....

This a 90% Road Track car, taken out to street only a couple of weekends a month, so hopefully is going to be reliable enough for that purpose...

If is not I´ll take all Earls fittings out and go with crimped hoses all around on a parallel fuel system...

Honestly the availability of parts & service is none to zero... Mail man is probably one of my best friends now...

Saludos..!!

 

it would have being a good idea to have the an fitings welded to the rails, but it looks good as long as there isnt any leaks.

also the green connector is the coolant temperature sensor for the computer, if one of those wires break off your car will run like crap, and posible wont even start.

the other plug under the grren one is the fan thermoswitch, it activates the high speed fans if it gets to hot.
