I've got a 670cfm Holley Street Avenger on my ZZ4 and a long way to go to get this set up right. I'd like to eliminate the rubber fuel line shortly. Anyone ever try this set up?

Looks like it has everything all in one to feed into the carb - hard line, pressure gauge, filter. not crazy about that fuel presure gauge if it says "Summit" on the face but I can't read it. I kinda like the look of plumbing something similar with red/blue fittings but this is half the cost.

I have not used or seen that particular unit on another car, I have bought plenty of summit brand items and I have been very happy with them.

The price is right....if you like the looks I would say go for it Summit stuff is not bad at all.

I just installed a new Holley SA 670...and I order that exact fuel line from Summit. It will be here on Tuesday. I'll post pics once I get it installed.

I'm not home and I don't have the pictures with me-- I went thru this exercise and made the fuel lines from the pump to the carb- 3/8 steel brake tubing, a fistfull of -6 AN nuts and sleeves, a -6AN Tee, and the carb fittings for the Holley float bowls to -6 AN, and an inline filter. Bent all the lines flared them and then cleaned everything up. Next step is to put a rattle can clearcoat over the lines. I've also got a Demon carb I can switch with the Holley- the fuel line Tee is in the same place so it's a direct bolt on no hassle swap..

I had 4 different premade lines- 1 from Summit, 1 from Jeg's, and 2 from local parts houses. Every one leaked. I gave up. And I refuse to run a flexible line after the fuel pump. IMHO, that is asking for a BBQ.

I've been thinking about the same thing the plus for me is the fuel filter built in

I have used summit brand parts with good results also. I am using the summit dual feed fuel line with the gauge and it works great.

I used that piece on a Holley 4150 and a Speed Demon carb. It's a fairly high quality adjustable piece with a bronze filter. I ran braided line and an fittings from the pump to the carb for a trouble free hookup
