Hey Guys, well... no perches yet... the guy was supposed ta be here yesterday and that didn't work out, kinda bugs me, but i'm rollin' with it... talked to him today, we're scheduled for Monday in the AM, we'll see...

after the perches are done i'll get the differential installed along with brake and fuel lines... gas tank too...

wondering what you guys like for an electric fuel pump and filtration set up i was looking at the Fram HPG-1 filter and the Holley pump/regulator kit 12-802-1 (blue pump)

i have a 3/8 sender & line...

any thoughts ???

For what you need the Blue boy should suffice. I've been using it for many years and never an issue.

Thanks Jeff. has anyone used anything different i might wanna consider ???

saw a post about this one at Steve's... anyone using it ??? what regulator would be recommended ???

If your going to street it as you say, then you want a regulator with a return line so you dont go Vaporlocking on us.

hmmmmm, thanks Jeff... i'll have ta research a bit more on that then...

appreciate it ;)

Like a Mallory 4309

This one, but you should be able to find it for less. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mallory-4309-Fuel-Pressure-Regulator-3-12-psi-Universal_W0QQitemZ8060983491QQcategoryZ33553QQssP ageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

John, you'll need to size your fuel system based on what your setup requires, not based on what we tell you :) The rule of thumb that Century Peformance uses it pretty accurate.

That mounts up front, stick to the rear, pushers are better then pullers.

OK, i have that link saved, i'll check it out...

i wanna keep it all real simple and dependable.

I would not use any filter that came in an orange box. Surely Wix makes something that will fit your needs.

"truck filters for cars"

yes, a good brand, sold it for years...

I have to agree with Philip on the orange box filter. IMO they are just an economy filter for people who don't know any better. I am sure that you are not one of those people!! At least do a little research on what flows best, and offers the best filtration. You don't want the flyer sucking dirt!!

Randy (JMO though!!);)

the Fram unit's basically a housing with an element... Wix doesn't show a "Unit" only an element (according to online catalog)... for the FRAM housing... i'm figgering the same filter element would be available from K&N too...

i sold A/C filters, Wix, Purolator and Fram amongst others for years... what's the grudge about Fram ???

I don't know about their fuel filters, but their oil filters have the largest micron filtration of filters that have been tested. As I recall, AC and Wix were about the same, with the smallest micron filtration. It is prolly long gone now, but there was a thread about the oil filters on Steve's long ago.

I don't see them making better quality fuel filters than oil filters.

Randy (there is a lab dissection website out there somewhere):)

well, thanks... ta be honest i'm not sweating "any" microns... with a new tank, lines etc etc etc... it's not gonna be a big worry for a while...

Not that you would ever make anyone mad enough at you to add some dirt to the tank, huh, not ol lovable Johnny.

Yeah I heard about the desert on Court TV. Several bodies just showing up :eek:
Well I have to take the kids dead Firebird to Phoenix right now for repairs. The guy that thought putting a distributor behind a water pump was a good idea needs to tortured. Keep the troops in line while I am gone.

i'll lead 'em into battle...

have a good day Phillip...

Do you know what is in the tank at the station where you will be filling up the flyer? That is where the problem comes from, not from your own, clean system. Or, are you planning on cracking your own crude??

Randy (Johnny cracked a CRUDE again!!!!):eek:

I put one of these on my car. It'll flow 900lbs/hr of fuel and filter down to 10microns. The filter plate is washable/re-usable too.

It wasn't incredibly cheap, but it'll pay for itself over the long haul.

that looks pretty nice Rex, thanks for the link. i might just have ta look inta those a bit :D
