Im looking for suggestions on how to plumb the fuel lines for the PMO carbs. Where should the regulator be mounted?

Two regulators - one in front reducing the pressure to about 12 psi. Second one in engine bay on firewall reducing pressure to 4 psi. This has served me well for about 10 years.

Why not use vise grips? We used the Holley/Mr. Gasket fuel pressure regulator on the race cars and I bought them for street cars. They looked much like the ones in the picture. **very similar to ones on the tensioners in a /6 engine to prevent total collapse. And you are right ... I don't like them! |

According PMOs site you can buy the regulator with AN-6 fittings. The one we installed on Glenn Sager's 3.0 conversion uses what I described above. If they have different ones I do not know. I'll add an image to this post in about 20 minutes. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i239.photobucket.com-1696-1418767310.1.jpg) Installed on the back firewall, between the carbs. |
