every one needs a lift like that

Nice, how big is the tank (gallon wise)?

72MARIO · 05-18-2005, 11:40 PM

Thanks for the pics.

I ran my fule line last night SS 3/8" one long piece right to the pump. I used the same line claps too. I need to pick up my braded line and AN fittings that will conect the tank to the hardline. Cant wait to get out from under there.

I also just finished the 2 rear lines that go from the Felx line to the wheel cyl. The I ran the line from the master cyl to my adj porp valve. Well the porp valve not a 1/4" in for some reason ...... I will have to call the race shop tommorow and find out what went wrong.
I was kinda lost as to where to run the front lines and Now I see exactly where to run them. At least I will have thoes to run till I figure out what up with the porp valve.

Looks like our trucks are at the same point of progress only I have the box on. Is yours painted yet ?

Later, Mario

Yeah, it's painted. I took the box off to make it easier to get to the lines. I'd like to see pictures of your proportioning valve when you get it installed. That's what I have to do real soon. I hope to be able to fire the engine this weekend and break it in. Unless you just want to run braided lines to the tank I would highly suggest the Aeroquip push on barbed fittings that take two seconds to put together and are rated at 250 PSI.

See ya', Greg

Love the set up.

very nice job man....one of the best I've seen.....some people should do this for a living and you are one of them.

Nice job on the plumbing. I'm gathering up the parts to do the TPI swap this summer. I was actually thinking about running the lines down the driver's side. Looks like it'll work pretty good. Can you post part #'s for the tubing and fittings that you used?

I'm sure I'll be in touch to get pointers on installing this thing.

Mike

Holy Crap!! You pictures just made me realize I forgot one thing on my TPI swap...a fuel filter!!! How stupid is that????
Well thanks for the pictures, I know what I'll be doing this weekend.
I ran my lines pretty much the same way. I went with steel the whole way up to the front, and then did the barbed fitting with hydraulic hose on the front from the frame to the engine.

meathead95 · 05-19-2005, 02:05 PM

where did you get the line and fittings?

72MARIO · 05-19-2005, 06:38 PM

I will get pics of the adjustable pop valve this weekend. I kinda want to run the braided line it looks trick. I have a rear sump on my tank so it is visiable. It's got to look trick.

Don't you like how dusty everything gets ?

My truck is covered right now. Got to wash it so I remember how it's not in primer anymore. I need to be careful around it and not lean stuff on it.

Later,

Mario

71swb4x4 · 05-19-2005, 07:21 PM

Meathead, I used steel brake line, and I had a board member flare the correct ends for me.

Thanks for the compliment but I'd starve to death if I did this for a living, I'm wayyyyyyy to slow.

From a local speed shop but Summit has them too. Earl's, XRP & Russell makes the AN fittings, Aeroquip for the Socketless barbed fittings and Aeroquip or Gates for the special Socketless hose.

I'll probably be running my fuel lines this weekend

Nice work!
