after some delays i finally got to put my stealth ram on today. all i need now is a water neck for the thermostat, bolt on plenum and hook up the spark plug wires and fire it up! cant wait until tommorow.

 

does anyone else think the gaskets supplied with the stealth ram are a joke? they look like construction paper, but flimsier.

 

last one

 

is that fuel puddled up all over the intake?

 

yes it was due to my brother turning the key on to listen to the radio while i was still getting everything hooked up, it sprayed my face too

 

that sucks, atleast you didnt do what i did....nevermind we wont talk about that...

 

does anyone make a fuel pressure gauge that works with the tire valve fitting holley supplied?

 

it looks like ****... *** i cant stand the look of that HSR on your car... u should give it to me! hehehehe its lookin nice man... sucks about the fuel thing... i hate lil brothers in the car when im under the hood.... they think its funny to start it up when im gettin the runners off!.... f**kin basterd...

 

Could you give me the size of those fittings you used for the fuel line? Also what size fuel line you used.

 

Yes, when I first put it together, I didn't have the gaskets & I used RTV with no problem. I then had to take it apart to reseal the rear of the intake (oil leak) & laughed at them, coated both sides with a THIN layer of RTV & all is well.

 

sure thing bud...
the feed line is EAR-9894DBJ and at summit it cost like 7.95

the return line is EAR-9894DBH and cost the same 7.95 from summit

both of those fittings are saginaw to -6AN fittings, so my braided line is -6. if you go this route, get a dremel., cutting steel line with a hacksaw is a joke. the stealth has -6AN fittings so you will need 4 SUM-220690, which are -6AN female hose end fittings. doing the fuel lines like this made it a snap.

 

Rick,

I told you they were a joke.LOL. about the envelope i sent them in was better then the gaskets it comes with.

BTW, You got e-mail.

 

dont try to put your distributor in at 3:45am after you have been up for 2 days. i had the damn thing in 180 degrees backwards. after correcting this and getting it running, it turned my car into an animal. there is no more "tpi wall" thats for sure.

 

I took the tire fitting valve out of my rail, and then screwed my autometer PSI gauge right into the rail. Easy to see while tuning for my, because i installed the rails with the regulator on the front passenger side, and it was at the rear, even ended up at the right angle when tight!!!! just my .02

 

might have to try that...

 

I believe another member stated the FP regulator is an ~87 GN type.

 

i have the adjustable reg, we are talking about fuel pressure gauges.

 

I guess I was thinking they used their style FP regulator and valve port for a design standpoint. I wonder what the imports use as a standard on the fuel rail port?

 

i feel for the people that have a nitrous kit and has to have the schrader valve for the feed line.....

it took me 4 hours to track down the exact fitting it needed....

for some reason no one here has any 90* barb fittings

 

The accel guage will fit right on there. It is for a "schrader" valve application.

 

what size is that cheasy pressure valve thread, 1/4 NPT? if so is there a 1/4 NPT to schrader valve adapter?

 

Where the valve threads into the rail is 1/8 NPT.

 

so is there a 1/8npt to schrader valve adapter.

 

Looks good other than the silver spraypaint on some things
Channel locks/vice grips = very useful. Get it running yet?

 

been running for a while with the cheasy valve for a bit now, and the paint is already fixed with the color of the car and chrome highlights, and new hoses-belt.

 

Sofa King,
If you want a permanent mounted FP gauge, remove the schrader valve altogether & use the 1/8 npt hole with the gauge. Most aftermarket gauges can use a 1/8 npt feed.

 

Thanks for the information sofa king!:hail:

 

Go to a refrigeration supply house. They have the 1/8 to schrader fittings. That's what I used in mine.

 

testing out pic...

 

how's hood clearance?

 

woah, can you come paint my engine bay like that? jk

 

hood clearance is fine. doesnt hit at all. the paint is all primer. i havent decided if i should paint it all black or white like the color of the car, so until then its dull primer.

 

how much did you spend on the stealth ram all togeather if I may ask?
