First time I read this one though...

with the latest kits you notice the tank to pump line is longer, the pump should be mounted 'head down', you'll see where the tank line falls, that's where the pump will be mounted on the frame rail

And in my recent talks with Julio he never mentioned turning the pump over.

I cant see why it needs to be head down,, as the pump is lower than the fluid so there should be no problem..
BUT,, if Julio says so,,,I am sure there is a reason. He knows his stuff about alky.
Mine is mounted head up , was the short hose version....
(ot would have fun with that)

I too installed the Julio kit on my C5 using cajundude's instructions. They are excellent.
As far as pump failure, I suppose unless you use the "test" button to see if your car stumbles at idle, it'll be hard to tell if anything is awry, right?

Aside from the above mentioned reason, the "head down" position helps protect against possible siphoning and puddling inside the intake.

If only Virtual Geezer watched the C5 FI forums, we'd have a photorealistic Photochop of CajunDude umm... rotating the crankshaft... to illustrate this step.

It is a very good instruction site. Great Detail.
My only question is how do you fine tune the system with out going to the dyno. I have nothing that would detect knock. Is there something I could be missing?
I should be getting my kit any day now
