Fuel System Installed

 I finished up installation of my fuel system today.  I started off mounted the bracket I made in order to have a spot for the pump and filters to mount to.  As mentioned, after sizing up the setup, I really only had one place in order the pump and filters would fit, and be installed below the sump in the tank.  I mounted the bracket to the underside of the trunk, between the rear end and fuel tank.  I was fairly happy with the way the bracket turned out, though may modify it a bit, or create a new/similar one next winter.  As it is, it serves it's purpose, and looks relatively nice.

The nylon braided line I went with is made by Russell.  It is both lighter, and easier to work with than stainless braided line.  I will say this though, the 6 -AN hose is the hardest of the bunch to work with.  The 8 -AN and 10 -AN slide together with relative ease.  I did heat the hose end with a heat gun and apply hose assembly oil.  Even then, the 6 -AN fittings wouldn't quite bottom out into the fitting.  I'm hoping they won't leak, or I may find myself starting over, but thankfully, I have plenty of extra 6 -AN hose leftover.

I still need to mount my regulator to the roll bar, as well as attach the lines securely to the frame.  I also have to wire up the relay and pump yet.  I am just glad to have the plumbing ran, and it went as easy as it did.  I will keep chugging away, as I'm getting VERY close to being able to fire the engine up!

Here is the fabricated bracket bolted in place beneath the trunk.

Here is the pump with filters mounted in place.

Once the car is lowered back to the ground, I'm not sure you'll even be able to see the filters or bracket, as they all may be hid by the sump and bracket.

Here is the feed line and return line, running along the passenger side frame.  I still need to secure both lines to the frame.

Here is the regulator with lines to the carb.  I have the holes drilled in the roll bar (see picture below) to mount the regulator to the roll cage, I just need the mounting hardware.

I still need to go back and tighten all my AN fittings yet, as mount he regulator, but every hose is cut to length and assembled, and ready to go.  After securing my hoses, hooking up a few wires, I am just about to the point I can lower the car back to the ground to finish up the rest of the wiring.  As long as the fuel system is leak free, I'm really only a few connections away from being able to start the engine.  I'll try and get some video once it's back running.
