Cris - many thanks for the time yesterday in your shop. Seeing all these parts in person was like a drug. I was f'n high the whole ride home!

Also, that MOI converstion I had w you and your friends from Wilwood was very cool; almost better than the time we spent on my stuff ...it's nice to get inside industry engineering once in a while vs. chatting it up at an event!

Jay- The blocks are machined on inlet to -10 & the dual outlets to a -6 that are o-ringed or as Aeromotive would call ORB.. so the choices of buying fittings are open to your choice of fuel requirements.. This small qty. we ran are available to sell.. PM me in the next few days & will have pricing.. also will have pricing for the DSE master cylinder reservoir with insert..

As always Chris...amazing work. A question for you though with the distribution block. I haven't gotten around to running my fuel lines, and am really not sure about plumbing a fuel injected car...but just wondering if that works with a return line. Would that work with a Rick's tank with in tank pump? I thought I've read that a Rick's tank needs a return line that's why I'm asking as I like those blocks.

Mike-
WE are currently using the Rick's tanks with the Vaporwoks trays that use the 2010 Camaro fuel module.. What I like about it is that it requires no fuel return system & can support about 600 hp..

Here is a pic with the Rick's gas tank with a return system that we used a Aeromotive fuel regulator to loop it back to the gas tank on the Firebird..

Cris,

What brand are those black AN fittings and hose? Does that hose have the Teflon liner?

That's a cool way to do that. Definitely saves having to run the extra line the entire length of the car. I'm going to save that picture that in my 'ways to do things' file. Thanks for posting that.

They might have some similarities to yours or other in the market.. but we make them to what we require here @ the shop.. For the most part it is easy for us to make any custom fitting or distribution blocks for fuel, brake, or A/C..

Erik- We use Summit brand fittings & hoses.. They are private label by one of the top manufactures of fittings & hoses.. We save a few bucks by using Summit brand fittings.. Custom plumbing can be expensive.. No teflon liner on the hose..
