Got my regulator to plumb in the fuel rail. Gonna feed the front and return out the back. I read the injectors are a little more consistent if you Y the feed to the front and link the rears of the rails to return.
I don't think I posted any pics of the valve covers the wife bought me for Christmas. I like to just stare at it. This thing is gonna be fun...
No updates in forever...actually just got it in the garage a couple months ago. I finally started the body work on it...modified the core support and bumper brackets to work with my wedged subframe and fit some 2010 Camaro side markers in the fender. I like the style a lot better than the original one and it fits the lines pretty nicely. Body has a couple little rust spots but not bad at all. Very pleased there. Bought patches and an OEM fender to replace the POS aftermarket one it had.
Gonna redo some of the wiring while I have it apart. Bought weatherpack connectors and bulkheads to get it sorted out. Want to keep it as clean as possible since there will be an EFI harness going in too. And I've pretty much decided on ditching the Accel setup and going with a Holley HP ECM & harness. The used Accel kit I bought it pretty hacked...and not that user-friendly.
Mocked up the final ride height by popping the springs out and throwing some blocks under the axle due to lack of weight currently. It tucks the tire just how I want and leaves me with between 4.5" - 5" of ground clearance at the lowest spots. Hopefully that's all I need! haha
Nice set up. Who's intake is that your using? I like the side marker lights you used they look nice. Something you probably already thought of , supporting the regulator. Vibration would make short work of the AN fitting. Its looking great.

It's a "Hurricane"...some China junk...but it has the longest runners of any EFI intake I could find, so I'm gonna clean it up and run it. In theory, the longer runners should help me keep some low end even with the single plane.
You're probably right about the regulator. I'll play with placement some when I get the engine in the car.
Sadly, the black Beretta is no more...killed by road salt. But I parted it to build a new roller a few years back that is pretty nice. I'll post a build thread on it some time.
After a little inner fender surgery, the tires clear on the bump stops when straight. Obviously they don't clear at steering lock, but I don't know how you would bottom the car out completely at steering lock... Couple pics here show how much room I added by rolling the lip and slightly tweaking it out in relation to the stock inner fender. Still have to finish closing it in, and adding a rail to the outer so the inner can bolt to it. It might be a little ugly, but isn't visible. Haven't decided if I will weld that part, or maybe use the 3M panel bond to keep from warping anything.
Also installed my Aerocatch hood pins and a removable tow hook to keep from wrecking the front air dam.
