Option B - Stubby Bobby

[Gregski]

and here's how either option will be supported at least in this spot

I like B, it seems to fit better. Of course that is only worth what you paid for it though.

I'm with you, I like B better.

[Gregski]

Dude you seriously did not need to share. I would have been perfectly fine if you would have kept this all for yourself.

Wife: "I donno, is Busty gonna be fine without you for a couple of days?"

I'm not a smart man, but I'm pretty sure that was a rhetorical question.

thanks, yes we did, it was rad and much needed, I am now trying to get motivated to walk into the garage and do the fuel plumbing...

[Gregski]

mandatory stare and compare

stock sending unit vs the sump pump

[Gregski]

and here's a little close up, I got this sending unit with the screw on couplers for a reason so I was not going to cut them off and use the compression AN adapters, it took me a while but I got the right AN adapter that simply screw in, I like this clean setup

[Gregski]

and she's in, these sending units come in two different clock positions but this one is good enough for me as long as it fits I can route the steel braided lines accordingly

[Gregski]

I swear would it kill 'em to label the return line on this Corvette fuel filter regulator?!?!?! had to find a labeled diagram to run the lines the proper way as it sure aint intuitive at all and the stubs are not long enuff to tell a 3/8ths from a 5/16ths

I know there's an arrow but I took that as directional flow from tank to engine, all I want is a little "R" next to the proper nipple ha ha

I never paid much attention to this before. Thank you for pointing this out. I will have a head start now when I do my conversion.

no worries my friend this is why I try and document, majority of this is discovery and if I can help someone else out, that's a bonus, and I find myself referring to my own build threads years later, cause you blink and it's been 2, 4, hewk 10 years since you done did something (and hopefully she's still running, ha ha)

gonna spend most of today cutting up my thumbs whilst attempting to make more steel braided fuel lines, I found some great Fragola brand -6 AN fittings I've ran them in the past so it's just a matter of cutting the lines and putting them on

end is in sight!

Spaghetti Western

Injector wires in place (approximately) we fully expect to make adjustments as we go

[Gregski]

added the coil wires...

[Gregski]

added, alternator wires, TPS, MAF, Temp, you get the idea, we just keep building and building...

[Gregski]

and pretty soon all that was left was the Transmission branch of wires to run...
