You are correct sir, I'll have to bust on him for that , ha ha. There are some pics on the web that show it reversed, he may have looked it up and found one of those....he's a ford guy and primarily builds drag race stuff, he did not like the idea of that regulator to start with . Hey, they work fine for our little 600-700 horse engines!! Thanks again for the good eye!

No problem Jeff,
That picture you mentioned popped a bunch of guys. A few even replaced fuel pumps and PCM's trying to find out why they didn't have fuel at the rail.

I love using those regulators, cheap, compact and easy to mount.

My buddy Matt supplied the clips, he really likes to use them...they are actually really nice and I will use them on my other projects for sure. I will get the name of the manufacturer and a source for you.

Went up to my new shop building this weekend to drop off a bunch of stuff from my current garage (doing the moving thing) and saw that my 72 Corvette coupe was sitting a little low in the front...I mean like on the ground low. I saw the front right tire was flat and thought, dang it has a leak. Leak!!, that's an understatement, it had a hole about 2" across blown slam out of it!! This car has been sitting around for 20+ plus years on the same tires and they are dry rotted pretty good I guess. As I went around to the left side it got even better, the entire tire delaminated and had blown all apart.

That might be a clue to get around to actually do something with the car!!

Weird both blew out on their own.

More importantly, that '64 needs some love! + + =

Please excuse a few stupid questions from an Aussie petrol head. Can you tell me more about that motor? Is it a crate racing engine based on some ome? And what is the type of racing you're aiming this beautiful project at? Any chance of some pics of that competition scene? Yes I know that's four questions I'm loving the colour, stance & workmanship of this beast. And lastly yes isn't it awful how life constantly gets in the way of the projects we'd all rather be building & putting our time & $$$ into. Where do I complain about this?
