33 Coupe Fuel System and Battery  4        11/23/03

This is what it looks like with the fuel pump mounted in place. I left just enough room for my fuel filter that will go on the right side of the pump. Lets take a look at the regulator that goes to this system.
 

 

 

This is the fuel pressure regulator that will be mounted on the firewall. I chose the firewall location because of where the fuel line ended up coming from the carburetor. Plus the firewall is much easier to get to than under the car. The two fittings are 3/8" pipe on one end and #8 AN on the other. The regulator has pipe threads in it so this is just an adapter. A little Teflon tape on the threads and I'm ready to tighten them down. 
 

 

 

Here you can see the mounting bracket for the regulator. Now the regulator has one inlet and two outlets. One of the outlets will be used for the fuel feed to the carburetor and the other one will be used for a fuel pressure gage. The fuel pressure gage is going to be mounted inside the car but won't have any gasoline running to it. I'll explain more about that later.
 

 

 

Here you can see how the fuel lines are going to be run. I used two 90 degree fittings and one coupler to make the fuel line run to the underside of the car. I wanted to use a short piece of braided steel hose and two swivel fittings but the two fittings were to long and took up the same amount of space that the three other fitting did. This is why I went this way.
