Can you please add details to this thread.

re: regulator at the tank instead of at the motor.

I've been running the regulator at the tank for several years. Not my idea, actually GM has been doing it for years on cars like the Vette.

The main reason(s) I like it is because it simplifies the fuel lines, only one to run up into the engine compartment. Secondly, it stops the heated fuel from the engine compartment and rails from going back to the tank. Not an issue in around-town driving, but you get out on the road for 200-300 miles and you would be amazed how hot the fuel in the tank gets. The gas is very hot coming back and the fuel level in the tank is dropping, making it even worse. This then causes the pump to cavitate, and eventually you're stuck on the side of the road waiting for stuff to cool off. Ask me how I know............

Power Tour 05 saw many cars have this issue.

Jody,

Can you post a link to this fuel system thread for a goober like me ??
Sounds like a cool way to set things up. I'm also assuming your running a vaccum line from the motor back to the regulator or is there some other way to do that ??

Thanks for any input on this, I appreciate it

Thank You sir !!!

That's an awesome thread.

Well, Jim (the painter) and I are rubbing the paint out. He did the roof last night.







I finalized the front fender a few minutes ago.





He's gonna be here in a couple minutes and we'll keep at it.

Wow, that is some shine. Having big "guns" like yours sure helps! When that motor is in this car will be unbelievable.

We have been doing this for years and have had no problems it seems to correct most of them. The car is coming along great and will be a blast to drive with that set up.
