Im hacing to relocate mine due to the wiper motor being put back on, and Im wanting to see where some of you mounted yours. Im trying to hide as much as I can. Mines got a gauge on it, but I can mount it on the carb feed lines if need be. Post away!

EDIT: Prefferably with electric pumps. Mechanical pumps would be nice, but Im running the stock in tank for now, so my lines are on the driver side.

I want to use AN lines sooo bad, hell just for the looks, but I have no idea how the sizes work, and how exactly the line seals against the fittings. Can anyone explain, or point me to a site that explains?

Nebu: Why did you make the lines so long? Are they going to something else out of the picture or are they just long? Either way, it definitely looks cleaner than mine

yes they are a bit long and i should have used some 90° fittings at the afpr.

Swivel-Seal Hose Assembly
AN Thread Sizes

AN sizing works like this:

you have -3, -4,-6,-8,-10,-12,-16, and -20. -3 is the smallest, -20 is the biggest.

-3 is equal to 3/16". -4 is 4/16 ( or 1/4"). -6 is 6/16" (3/8"), -8 is 8/16 (1/2) and so on. As a general rule, -8 is used as a fuel feed and -6 as a return. You will need to adapt the npt threads in the regulator to -an, so 3x 3/8npt to -6 adapters are needed.

I mounted my regulator on the passenger side, seemed to be the best place in my case. I also have a return line, it comes off the bottom of the regulator but you can't see it very well in the pic.

I got mine set to about 6.5psi. about 5-6psi is a good starting point for most carbs.

Just built up a new fuel system eliminating two pumps (Holley red and black) for a big Mallory 250 pump. Installed 1/2 inch and -8 line from fuel pickup to the fuel block, -6 is going to the carb and nitrous fuel solenoid; carb line is going to go bigger soon though Thought about running on the driver's side but there's too much stuff on that side and closer to the header.

the fittings are taper-seat seals (60 degree) they seal the same way your brake lines do

its exactly the same as hydraulic hose fittings, just that the ones you see people using on cars aren't crimp on, they're screw on, and they're aluminum not steel

so if you ever get in a bind making hoses and need an adapter NOW....you can get one from a local hydraulic shop....it will be steel though, not aluminum

AN fittings are a 37 degree flare not 60.
