New Fuel Line Installed - Pics!

Hello,
I just wanted to share some pics of the new fuel line I installed. I followed the paper written by Lars and added a fuel pressure regulator and pressure gauge. The Edelbrock Performer carbs are not supposed to get more than 5 psi of fuel pressure so I added the regulator just in case it was high.

Went from this...

Way better that that rubber line, and 100% LESS chance of a BBQ. Does your air cleaner fit? I had to drop the line on my 77 straight down.

Looks pretty good to me and it is much more safe than the previous setup. Nice work!!

Here you go: Lars Fuel Line Paper

Hey Tom, that looks great. I really like your regulator/gauge setup. I'm getting ready to do mine as well. I could not believe how loose my rubber hose was on the inline filter . . . definitely an accident (and melted vette) waiting to happen. Great upgrade!!!

Thanks for the great comments guys!

Blue427, the fuel filter mentioned in Lar's paper I believe is being discontinued. I used AC-Delco part number GF652 as a replacement. It is a fuel filter built for a high pressure fuel line with o-ring seals and threaded connections. (similar to the one used by Lars).
