His stuff looks nice, but I sent an email him to find out my correct options; I can't tell what threads he's machining into the body of his piece (AN-6? NPT?) so I don't know which fittings to order from him.
Clearly I want 5/16" barb fittings both ends, but I want the bottom one to use a bulkhead fitting so I can mount it on the existing bracket (if it's not too heavy). Those are available from Summit (and others) depending on the body threads. |

QUOTE(GregAmy @ Mar 10 2020, 07:24 AM)  Am I correct in inferring his non-regulator one is 3 bar? Looks like it can come with a 3-bar Bosch rail pressure regulator, however the actual pressure regulator component is removable/replaceable so any pressure, including adjustable, that fit that form factor could be used. |

Mario 3-bar FPR procured and installed. Shows 41.5 psi on my Harbor Freight fuel pressure gauge kit. That's what we're going with.
You need to zip open the hole size on the bracket "one more larger" (Spinal Tap reference) using the HF step drill otherwise bolt in. Tangentally related...so raise your hand if you knew that when you remove the flapper thermostat pulley to install an aftermarket cooler that the pulley step-stud is an open hole to the block (not a blind hole), and if you don't plug that hole it makes a freakin' aweful oily mess...? Asking for a friend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) |
