Use the gaskets. They have a steel plate with a hole for the bolt and an o ring contained inside it for the steam tube.

Gotcha, bought them today, 4 x $9 = $36 for four little gaskets!!

 

Well, got some nick-nacks done that needed doing, nothing spectacular but it was a bunch of little things that took 3-4 hours of doing. Also got my new braided Stainless Steel fuel lines and dis-assembled my old fuel system so that I could re-use the fittings, looks like I might need one or two -6AN fittings but I should have enough for what I plan on doing...



Just as I was about to start cutting fuel lines, I talked to my buddy Henry and he suggested checking out a couple video's on youtube concerning making fuel lines. Did you guys know you can cut braided Stainless Steel fuel lines and the cloth ones with a chisel and a hammer!!

So yup, instead of taping the SS lines and pulling out the die-grinder I just chiseled through the SS fuel lines, worked like a freaking charm! Couldn't believe it!

So aside from that, I've been wanting to install the FPR right under the intake, in between the Fuel rails...I know right!! Wasn't sure if it was gonna work but I'm able to fit it in such a way that allows me to access the spring set screw, the FP sensor and run the return line, it's just gonna be at a bit of a weird 45 degree angle. Does anyone foresee any problem with this?

Here's a very basic idea of where it's gonna go...





Although it might not looks super blingy, I'm hopeful that when I run the lines it will be a clean and efficient. I already have the supply worked out to where there's a minimal amount of fuel lines. I just don't want to put the FPR on the firewall like last time and have an excess of fuel lines running all around the engine bay.
If anyone has any suggestions on how or where they placed their FPR I'm all ears, just know that I'm set on having the supply feed the back of the rails.

 

Looks good, how much was the Edelbrock manifold and rails? pm me if you don't want to post

 

Bought them from Richard at WCCH, (sponsor on the right). Give him a call, think it was around $300 or $400, sorry but I don't recall, bought them almost 2 years ago.

 

good to see you making progress . we need to have a meet soon , when will this be driveable?

 

I'm hoping to have this running by the end of the month. Tuned and done with by early to mid February. Really, once the fuel system and wiring is done it's just re-assembly, with one hitch being the efans if they fit or if I need to get shallower ones.

 

Got the fuel lines cut and assembled for the front and back of the Fuel rails. I test fitted the intake on the motor and found that the supply lines (back of the fuel rails) slightly touch the oil sender so I'm gonna modify the supply lines later tonight or tomorrow morning.
Hopefully by the end of the weekend I'll have all the fuel lines run and done, the intake on, most of the engine harness connected and can move on to other stuff.

Here's what I go so far...



Supply...



Return...







And here it is test fitted on the engine...



Coolant vent from the cross-over tubes clear perfectly and nothing really impedes or touches. I have SS lines for both the Supply and Return lines that will be run from the motor all the way back to the tank. I'm also gonna touch up the fittings once finished with some paint, I scruffed up the Powder coating on them last year when I first did my fuel system, not having the proper wrenches. Kind of a waste of $$ but at least the fittings themselves don't get scratched up.
