Re: Redid my fuel line
Not to downplay what you've done, but why not mount the regulator on the firewall, and run the fuel line up from the back of the manifold? It'd look a lot cleaner if you did.

Re: Redid my fuel line
Looks nice, but I do tend to agree with Longhorn Man. Braided stainless always looks great.

Re: Redid my fuel line
Is that regulator adjustable?
If so - where it's at provides ease of adjustment, I'd say leave it there... If not - Firewall would be a cleaner look.

Not sure if your Drag racing, but NHRA will not let you mount a fuel regulater to firewall.

Re: Redid my fuel line
Cool. My truck the PO ran a steel line from the mech pump cut it with a hacksaw put a plastic inline filter with hose then into the carb. First thing I did when I got my truck was run braided line the proper AN fittings from the pump to an aluminum edelbrock filter and crome fuel line into the new edelbrock carb. Not only looks great but alot safer too.
