You will
need to spend some time under your car to figure out
the best way to run the fuel line and the return
line in order to avoid hot parts (exhaust system)
and moving parts (drive shaft). I had the line run
once but it took me too close to both things, so I
spent some more time on my back under the car
looking for a better way. This time I just followed
the route of the existing fuel lines and crossed
over on the cross member at the front of the engine.
You have to use hose rated for fuel injectors,
usually at 250 PSI and I've found that the prices
are all over the place. I bought this hose from John
Wilson as part of the conversion
package for $3.00/ft. I got 15 feet and used about
12 or 13 feet for the run between the pump and the
regulator. Then I needed a short 5/16" piece for the
pump fittings and went to my local NAPA store where
it was $9.00/ft!! Luckily I only needed 4". When I
mentioned this to Rick Patton (he owns 2 NAPA stores
in Maine), he told me that the Push-Loc hose he
sells is priced at $1.39/foot! So you might want to
shop around.
Once I got the hose run from the
rear to the front I had to find a good place to
cross over the other side of the car. The spot I
initially choose was between the oil pan and the front of the
transmission housing. Then I got to thinking about
the heat that would be generated there and got
concerned about vapor lock........sooooo....I pulled
all the line out and spent about an hour looking for
a more suitable route and settled on one that
crossed over on the front member under the fan. The 5/16" return line will run
alongside the fuel line until I can tie it in to the
old steel fuel line....probably right below the oil
filter.
