Here's some pictures of my installation of aluminum and braided fuel lines and a Holley Commander 950 TBI system on my V8.
First pic shows the 3/8" aluminum fuel lines in the area under the gas tank. Attached image(s)

niiiiiice! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'm in the middle of doing the same. The front was easy, but you inspire me for the engine compartmment (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)
QUOTE I haven't clamped it in the tunnel. I was going to cut some pieces of 3/8" rubber tubing lenghtwise and slide it over the tubes to keep them from rattling. However, they some pretty firm in the tunnel and haven't made any noise. Of course the noise level in my car is not quite at Mercedes level so I may just not be hearing it. I did that (and used the stock clamps)...worked out nicely!Very nice work on the tank end of things. I used the stock stuff, which fit a -5 barb well, then went with a -5 to -6 adapter. Next winter I'll try it your way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
