Hoses flipped

With them flipped like that I dont think it will clear the back of the firewall...

Do not run fuel lines over the bellhousing/ flywheel area unless they are run inside of thick steel tubing, if the trans let's go it can get ugly quick.

Also if you run at an NHRA sanctioned track you cannot have a fuel regulator, y-fitting, distribution block within 6"s of the firewall, just an FYI.

Be safe!

Was not aware of the Y fitting rule. I wonder why?

Not completely sure, but I've been busted on the y-fitting rule before. A tech inspector went out of his way to show me it in his book, must of been a revision since the last time I looked.

Well the Y fittings is still kinda close to the firewall but oh well. This should clear the cowl and firewall. I still need to run the return under the intake but that will be another day.
