School me!
Bill did you run the rubber push on all the way to the front? I was thinking of running aluminum under the car and fitting it back to steel braided right brfore it goed to the regulator under the hood. Is this okay or should I run the braided or push-on the entire distance?
Aaron,
Here's what I did:
I came out of both tanks with push-on rubber and ran it to both filters and pumps, and continued with rubber to the inner-fender-panel mounted regulator, (under the hood,) but then went to braided from the regulator to the carb's 2 inlets. I did use a brass, (or copper; I can't tell) 3/4"-diameter "collar" about 24" long on the
outside of the push-on hose where it passes the flywheel (I moved it to the outside of the frame rails, for that part of the journey,) and on forward up to within about 18" of the regulator. It passes through a crossmember in that space, and that was my way of protecting the outside of the hose from abrasion.
Listen, this was the FIRST application of push-on hose for a fuel system I had ever attempted, so understand, my system is just a homemade, shadetree, assortment of parts assembled by a guy who not only had never DONE it before, but who had never even SEEN such a system, anywhere, so, I may have made some really stupid mistakes.... grievous errors... but so far, it's working okay.
Good luck with yours; I don't THINK it's rocket science!!!!:cheers:
