"84 Vette Parallel Plumb Pics?

Planning to parallel plumb my crossfire's fuel lines - will be using AEI-13301 external regulator. Can anyone point me to some decent pictures of an "84 with two TBs parallel plumbed? Thanks.

Yes the red lines would look cool.

Here's a couple of pics on what I ended up doing. Tried to conserve cost by re-using much of the original plumbing and inexpensive worm gear connections.

I couldn't find a pic of mine in my photobucket account, but you can see it in this video:


Does your Aeromotive reg chatter when the pump powers up?

If you're asking me, I walked away from the tuning this summer and refurbed the interior, almost done with that. Will be back on tuning later. Plumbing seems to be working fine. Still have major running issues though. Backfire through TBs on acceleration, running rich/very poor economy, this with double+ checking all controlling components & engine health. Have the EBL set-up and will start the learning/programming process come spring. Never really got into it so I'm hoping that will solve some issues - guys at DCS believe it will. Need to add a wide band O2. Just had to get away from the tuning was getting too frustrating. Will be back with progress updates...

Bunch Off Topic...

Sorry about the way-off topic but I did finish the interior and had to post some pics. Job - new carpet, headliner, 3M DI-NOC covering some really ugly wood grain, new sound system, power antenna, installed remote door locks, new door panels, and fixed a ka-zillion issues along the way.

Soon back on the engine tuning. This will be a do or die effort - either I get it running well or it's a carb or on the market. Will be testing folks' knowledge and patience with questions - thanks in advance for your time.

No real before and after pics but here's a gutted vs done. Dash lights look great at night hardly visible during the day.

Not well, engine issue prevented proper tuning - which I didn't discover for a long period. It's in the shop now getting a refurb/upgrade to a 383 stroker. Also decided to let an expert tune it. Have no desire to go through another tune-go-round with a modified crossfire.
